After some experimentation, today I made a vegan version of your plain lentil bread. I used 2 cups of red lentils, 1 cup coconut milk, 3 flax eggs, 1/4 cup apple sauce, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1.2 teaspoons olive oil. Baked for one hour at 355 degrees F. This is from a fan in Gainesville, Florida, USA. Thank you for your recipes.

Diane Thompson, check to see if it is just G M O corn that wrecks him. I tried white corn, now many of us find white corn is fine because no GM O. Yellow that says no GM O does make me sick, as does dairy from cows that eat yellow corn. Organic dairy is fine. Eggs from organic fed chickens fine, corn fed not, etc.

I make zucchini fritters with soaked and blended red lentils instead of flour all the time! Lentils are magical.

My son is gluten-free and I am always looking for new bread recipes to try. Thank you Refika.

Please make more gluten free foods, especially flat breads. Thank you so much, beautiful! You’re the best given your personality that reflect the beauty and love that’s in your heart!

I would gladly wait overtime to try anything you make, Refika!

You said just what I needed to hear: "You can use any kind of lentils." It looked like you even had some yellow split peas in your display. Many ingredients are more versatile than we give them credit for. Thank you for this enjoyable information.

OMG!!! I made your lentil cake. I did not have yoghurt as I am dairy fee, so I made some sunflower seed cream a little ACV....and also I used our Portuguese sheep cheese diced. It is heavenly!!! Only half recipe for me, a single person made a huge cake nontheless! You guys sure know how to make DELICIOUS food! Thanks so much...💕

Lentils have carbs too. Also lentils should always be paired with some cereals. That combination is better for digestion.

@tayatoyaify

Жыл бұрын

Usually when people want to make a gluten free bread it's because they have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease so pairing lentils with cereal is kinda defeating the purpose. Soaking and draining before putting into the processor already helps with digestion and adding certain herbs ie cumin takes care of the bloating for people whose bellies are not used to plant-based diet's amount of lentils, beans etc. As a side note I thought I was always bloated because of legumes consumption but turns out I'm extremely sensitive to gluten and my problem disappeared after changing wheat pasta to rice/millet/potatoes. Not eating gluten also made my acne disappear - I've had it my whole life🙃

Yes, it is very much like a cornbread. This is the most unique version I’ve seen. I think it can become vegan either with egg replacer, or like flaxseed based binder.

This bread turned out amazingly well. Refika’s directions are so on point . The bread is as done at 355 degrees Fahrenheit in exactly 35 minutes to the second:) impressive Rafika - I used fenugreek leaves, garlic, red chillier pepper and spring onions. Amazing flavors. What I love about this recipe is that it is so versatile and can be globally modified to suit the regional tastes of people anywhere in the world. This is will be a staple healthy recipe that I will using and experimenting with different flavors! Thank you Rafika and your team .

I would never have thought of making bread with lentils! But seeing you make it and thiking about how good lentils are I love the idea. I make soup fairly often and I can imagine this being a lovely accompaniment so I'll give it a try soon. I made my second batch of pomegranate sour this week so this will be my next food project 😄 Happy days!

I made this today! I was going to comment that I felt like there was something missing in the savory version, and thought I might try some caramelized onion in the next batch I make. But I looked at the recipe again and realized I left out the 4 sprigs of green onion😅. Now realizing that, I think my next batch will have the green onions, a little caramelized onion on top with the seeds, and another half teaspoon of salt. Thank you so much Refika and team!

I made the lentil bread today and I'm absolutely thrilled with the result. I will be making this bread every day I love ❤️ love ❤️ this bread I'm gluten free. Thank you for sharing.

This is the best gluten free quick bread I have found and tried. Made it last night with dried figs, thyme and vegan cheese. I don't regularly eat dairy, so I used tofu in place of yogurt. My bread didn't grow as tall (maybe the baking powder has lower strength?), nevertheless it had a wonderful texture and flavor. I can think of many combinations: walnuts/ figs, rosemary olives, etc. This is now my go-to recipe for the daily bread 😋

It works really well. Thank you Refika for bringing this to us. Now it is in the oven, 3rd time, and I have halved the ingredients and used a 20cm spring form cake tin. This time the base is split green peas and I have mixed in some diced sun-dried tomatoes and spring onions, with nigella seed on top, but I have also mixed in one tablespoon of rice flour because eating rice with a pulse gives a full protein combination (or so I have been told.) We are having a smaller ratio of carbohydrates with our meals to manage blood sugar. The bread will be eaten with a lovely rich tomatoey ratatouille and cheese. Yum yum! (I hope it works this time)

FYI: One Tablespoon of rice flour won't make a complete protein with 2 cups of lentils (or even 1 cup). However, the dairy (yogurt) in this recipe makes it a whole protein to start with (either a grain or a dairy makes a whole protein with legumes). So no real need to add the rice flour. But, I doubt the rice flour in such a small amount very much affected the recipe. Can hardly wait to try this.

Omg both look really delicious, and the timing is perfect, because I wanted to reduce my carb consumption. Thank you very much!

Oh yum, I'll definitely be making this bread. We love red lentil Dahl & as I've been gluten free for 24 years I'm always on the lookout for a great tasting gf bread recipe. I think the second loaf with all the seeds looks amazing! I make red lentil dosa flatbreads which are delicious, I bet these loaves will taste similar. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.

Thank you so much for this…not just gluten free but this bread is also on the lower glycemic side and good alternative for a diabetic like me!

Hey Refika In India there's a savoury dish that's called Khaman Dokhla which is so similar to this dish. It is made with chickpea flour and is steamed and not baked. That's a total vegetarian version and no eggs are used. There's another dish called Handvo. In our Konkani tradition we make crepes of the lentils too which taste absolutely yummmmm. It was great to watch this. I am a vegetarian and do not eat eggs yet i might try a substitute to egg and try this dish.

I put the lentils on to soak overnight, covered them and then had no time to deal with them yesterday morning. As a result my lentils were soaking for a day and a half and started to ferment. I also used natural yoghurt that was a bit past its 'use by' date. As a result I got amazing rise on my bread and the texture was more like conventional bread I am used to in the UK.

It's actually called KHAMAN and not DHOKLA (like all non gujjus refer to it).. DHOKLA has some portion of rice in the mix Moreover, it's steamed just like idli. In fact in Gujarat we have another item called IDLA which is also steamed and is like idli. The difference is that IDLA is steamed in one big thali and cut into bite sized pieces. There's plenty of variations of all three. Though one could compare this bread with another Gujarati dish called HANDVO, which though has rice along with lentils and is baked not steamed.

@@hibiscusflower5911 So, I'd possibly just swap out 4 eggs (which would roughly equal to 220g) with silken tofu. I believe it would work perfectly, also not lacking of the protein that'd normally come from the eggs in the original recipe. As for your question, the dairy yogurt, it's best to stick to the recipe and use a yogurt, of course a vegan one in that. I'd possibly use a soy based one but if you have any soy or even nut allergies I think chickpea yogurt would definitely work. Actually I imagine it's best to use either soy or chickpea yogurt, so if you can't pick soy I'd go with chickpea yogurt. Not sure if you can find one commercially (I personally have never came across a chickpea yogurt on the market) but it's so easy to make at home. I highly recommend trying giving it a go. Just search vegan chickpea yogurt online/KZread and you'll have plenty of references. Also for the cake version, you can most certainly use firm tofu or any vegan feta-like cheeses from the markets. OOOORR even better, I again highly recommend making your own by curdling your choice of plant based milk with a few tbsp of lemon juice. Hope this helps!

OK! Up until I came to Turkey I had never tried lentils, considering them to be the fodder of tree hugging pot smoking vegetarian's. I was raised in the 60's/70's and that was the staple fare of this particular group of people. Wind forward to spring of 2021, I discovered your channel and the lentil soup. My wife asked me to make it for her and that's it, she and I absolutely love it, so quick so tasty so filling. Now this week March 1st I tried this lentil bread, just the plain one, yet again my wife loved it, I was OK about it. Then I put in Turkish feta and onion, omgfg so nice I ate most of it this morning. Lentils on so when I came back they were ready to bake more. This time I added Chilli flakes and remembered to put the seed topping on before I baked it. It is probably the best thing that I've made, I've been cooking everyday, one way and another, for 45 years, this recipe is sublime. I will be sending you the cost for new clothes, I'm going to bloat up tremendously, being unable to say no to not one but several slices at a time. Absolutely well done on this recipe, I've passed it on to many friends who are eager to try it. Lentil salad is next on the list. Oh look a tree, lets go hug it. Where's my bongos and spliff. 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve made this twice. The second time I added sautéed leeks, carrots, and cheese, and a little more than double the amount of salt called for. The original recipe is quite bland for my taste, but the second batch was wonderful!
