Swap regular wheat bread for this healthy, satisfying, high-fiber, protein-rich lentil bread! It’s naturally gluten free, budget friendly and packed with nutrients thanks to the wholesome ingredients like red lentils, labneh, Parmesan, eggs, olive oil and parsley. The lentil bread usually stays fresh for about 3 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can slice and freeze them though. Soak the red lentils for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

 
  • 270 g Red lentils (whole or split)
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 150 g Labneh
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic granules
  • 3/4 tsp Paprika powder
  • 50 g Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (or dill, chives and oregano)
  • 30 g Olive oil
  • 15 g Baking powder
  • 2 tsp Sesame seeds for the topping
  1. Place red lentils in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let sit for a few hours. I left mine overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 20-22cm loaf pan with baking paper.
  3. Drain the lentils and rinse under running water and drain again. Return them to the bowl and add in eggs and labneh. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
  4. Season the mixture with sea salt, garlic powder and paprika powder. Add the freshly grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, olive oil and baking powder. Mix well.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 50-60 minutes.

  1. I make lentil bread once a week, but I have never tried this recipe with eggs, it is usually just lentils, a bit of water, baking soda, but I will have to try this one with eggs as it is probably more dense and spongy.

  7. As written your recipe states "150 Labneh ". Is that a liquid or a weight measurement?
