Mix the ingredients together.
Mix the lentils: Put the soaked lentils in a blender or food chopper and blend until they are smooth.
Include the following ingredients: flax seeds, ground coriander, baking powder, turmeric, salt, and psyllium seeds. Blend until thoroughly mixed.
Add 350 ml of water, olive oil, and lemon juice little by little while mixing until you get a smooth and thick mixture.
Take a break from baking.
Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes so the psyllium and flax seeds can soak up the liquid and thicken the batter.
Heat the oven before using.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Make the bread.
Get a baking pan ready. Put parchment paper in a loaf pan.
Put the lentil mixture into the pan and make the top even.
Bake: Put in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until firm when touched and golden brown on top. Check with a toothpick; it should be clean when finished.
Chill and Serve:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Cut the bread into slices after it has cooled down completely. Then, you can eat it with your favorite spreads or toppings.
