Rinse the lentils well and soak them in water for about 4-6 hours or overnight.
Drain and Rinse:
After soaking, drain and rinse the lentils thoroughly.
Blend the Ingredients:
Blend the Lentils:
Place the soaked lentils in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the Flax Seeds:
Add flax seeds, ground coriander, baking powder, turmeric, salt, and psyllium seeds. Pulse until well combined.
Incorporate the Liquids:
Gradually add 350 ml water, olive oil, and lemon juice while blending until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
Rest the Batter:
Let the Batter Thicken:
Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes for the psyllium and flax seeds to absorb the liquid and help bind the batter.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat:
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the Bread:

Pour the Batter: Pour the lentil mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top.

Cool and Serve:

Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, slice the bread and enjoy with your favorite spreads or toppings.
Serving Suggestions:
