Ingredients

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • ¼ cup psyllium husk
  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • tablespoons oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons mixed seeds sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.

Instructions

  • Wash and soak red lentils for 3-4 hours, or overnight. Once soaked, rinse them thoroughly. Place the rinsed lentils in a sieve for 5 minutes to drain all the water.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Transfer the lentils to a food processor along with psyllium husk, yogurt, olive oil, salt, baking soda, and lemon juice. Process everything well into a dough.
  • Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape each part into a bread roll. Place on the baking sheet and top with seeds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden. Let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Before using, thoroughly rinse red lentils to remove any debris or excess starch, which can affect the texture of the rolls.
  • When shaping the rolls, dampen your hands slightly to prevent sticking. A light coating of oil on your hands can also work.
  • Leftover rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or frozen for longer storage.
