  • Healthy Lentil Bread Recipe

    Healthy Lentil Bread Recipe

    Healthy Lentil Bread Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cups (250 g) lentils, soaked for 8 hours
    • 2 ⅞ cups (700 ml) water (for soaking)
    • 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) water (for blending)
    • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
    • 2 tbsp rice flour (16 g)
    • 1 tsp turmeric (5 g)
    • 1 tbsp ground coriander (7 g)
    • 1 tsp baking powder (4 g)
    • 2 tbsp psyllium husk (16 g)
    • Salt, to taste
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice (15 ml)
    • Vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
    • A handful of sunflower seeds
    • A handful of sesame seeds

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Soak the Lentils

    1. Soak the lentils: Place 250 grams of lentils in a large bowl and cover with 700 ml of water. Let the lentils soak for 8 hours or overnight. This helps soften the lentils and makes them easier to blend into a smooth batter.
    2. Drain and rinse: After soaking, drain any excess water and rinse the lentils under cold water.

    2. Blend the Lentils

    1. Add water: After rinsing, transfer the soaked lentils to a blender or food processor. Add 100 ml of fresh water to the lentils.
    2. Blend until smooth: Blend the lentils until you achieve a smooth, even consistency. Ensure there are no large pieces left in the mixture.
    3. Incorporate olive oil: While blending, gradually pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This adds moisture and helps bind the bread dough.

    3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

    1. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the following:
      • 2 tablespoons rice flour
      • 1 teaspoon turmeric
      • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
      • 1 teaspoon baking powder
      • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
    2. Stir well: Ensure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed to evenly distribute the baking powder and spices.

    4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

    1. Add dry ingredients to lentil mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the lentil batter. Stir or blend until everything is well combined.
    2. Season with salt: Add salt to taste, adjusting the seasoning based on your preference.
    3. Check the consistency: If the batter appears too runny, you can add an extra tablespoon of rice flour to thicken it slightly.
    4. Add lemon juice: Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This adds a subtle tang to the bread and enhances the overall flavor.

    5. Prepare the Pan and Batter

    1. Grease the bread pan: Lightly grease a loaf pan with vegetable oil to prevent the bread from sticking during baking.
    2. Pour in the batter: Transfer the lentil batter into the greased pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
    3. Top with seeds: Sprinkle a handful of sunflower seeds and sesame seeds on top of the batter. These seeds add texture and a nutty flavor to the  bread.

    6. Bake the  Bread

    1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (392°F) and allow it to preheat fully before baking.
    2. Bake for 60 minutes: Place the bread pan in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden and firm to the touch. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread—if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

    7. Cool and Serve

    1. Let it cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a cooling rack to cool completely.
    2. Slice and serve: Once the bread is fully cooled, slice and enjoy! Serve with your favorite spread, dip, or use it as a base for sandwiches.

    Tips for Success

    • Psyllium Husk: This ingredient is key to binding the bread and keeping it moist. Psyllium husk acts as a natural thickener and helps improve the texture.
    • Soaking Lentils: Be sure to soak the lentils for at least 8 hours. This step ensures that they blend easily and contribute to a smooth batter.
    • Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze slices for later use.

    I thought my aunts’ special recipe was gone forever, but you know what? I finally found it, and it tastes even better!

    1 cup of white rice
    One can of mushroom soup (10.5 ounces).
    One can of celery soup (10.5 oz).
    One can of chicken soup (10.5 oz).
    One and a half cups of water
    4 chicken breasts without bones or skin
    1 packet of onion soup mix
    Add salt and pepper according to your preference.

    Instructions

    Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before using it.
    Lightly coat a baking dish that measures 9 by 13 inches with oil.
    Mix the rice with mushroom soup, celery soup, chicken soup, and water in a bowl. Mix thoroughly by stirring.
    Add salt and pepper to the chicken breasts and place them on the rice mixture.
    Evenly spread the onion soup mix on top of the chicken and rice.

    Cover the dish well with aluminum foil. Don’t look while it’s baking!
    Cook in the oven that has been preheated for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is soft.

    Take out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
    Different Types and Advice
    This recipe can be easily adjusted in many ways! To make the rice dish more colorful and nutritious, you can add a cup of mixed frozen vegetables before baking. If you like a different type of meat, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are also a good option and remain very juicy. For an even more comforting taste, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the casserole during the last 10 minutes of baking. Let it melt until it turns golden brown. For a different taste, try replacing one of the creamy soups with cheddar cheese soup for a nice change.

    • Ingredients

    Instructions

    Prepare the Fruit:

    1. Start by slicing a ripe banana into small pieces. Place the banana slices and strawberries in the freezer, ideally overnight, to ensure a creamy consistency.

    Blend the Ingredients:

    1. In a high-quality blender or food processor, add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, fat-free Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract (if using).

    Blend Until Smooth:

    1. Blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.

    Taste and Sweeten (If Desired):

    1. Once blended, taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a small amount of your chosen sweetener. Remember, adding sweetener may increase the points if you’re following a Weight Watchers plan, so use sparingly.

    Serve or Freeze:

    1. For an immediate treat, serve the strawberry ice cream right away for a soft-serve texture. If you prefer a firmer consistency, transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.

    Presentation and Enjoyment:

    1. Scoop out the strawberry ice cream and enjoy it as a refreshing, zero-point dessert. Whether you savor it on its own or dress it up with your favorite toppings, this guilt-free treat is a delicious way to stay on track with your wellness goals.
