Thank you! Great tutorial, simple ingredients. Can we use flaxseed or banana to substitute the eggs? As you responded to one audience added more cottage cheese.

[@zaracooks]

Hey Nancy, Yes, if you want to keep the taste plain and close to regular bread, you can simply skip the eggs and add some extra cottage cheese. But, I think, you’ll still get good lentils bread like these if you prefer to replace eggs with a banana or flaxseed. The breads will be sweet in the first case and will taste the flaxseed in the second. If you try one or the other, let me know how it works 🙏

Had the same problem a few have mentioned. The loaves looked great at 20 minutes when I turned them in the oven to make sure everything was baking evenly. They rose and looked great. At the end of another 20 minutes they had fallen. I let them cool and sliced one open and it was a bit dense inside. Not sure what to try differently. I soaked the lentils over night in the fridge. I rinsed and let them sit for 30 minutes in the strainer to make sure they were well drained. I mixed until very smooth. Over mixing is the only thing I can think happened.

[@zaracooks]

Sorry Julianna, to hear that 🙏 I can see that you followed all the recommendations to get the best results with these lentil breads and, yet 😢 Since you said they rose and fall, I’m only thinking of the baking powder. Is it fresh enough? Or the heat, was the oven preheated before that it won’t heat up too high at the beginning before temperature goes more constant? I really can’t explain how much easy, I found it, working with this lentils batter (yes, it’s a bit dense but it’s very easy to work with)! I’m experimenting a sweet version, and despite many mistakes, the result is always amazing (great shape and texture like with regular flour each time) 🙏

[@juliannamckitrick8228]

@@zaracooks oven was definitely preheated. Pretty sure baking powder is fine as I haven't had anything not rise. Since it rose and fell, I don't that that was it. I'm thinking I'll try to use the blender to puree the lentils and cottage cheese. Then maybe Mixon the egg more gently. Perhaps best the egg whites separately and fold them in? Not sure. Whatever 8 did, they did not hold their structure. I have the rest of the package of lentils to try again. The taste is good so I'm not giving up!

[@zaracooks]

I’m glad you’re liking the concept and sorry for you not having the best result on your first trial 🙏 That hollow scenario is likely due to a slightly runnier batter. Try to really really drain well the lentils from the extra water after you rinse them. That might have been the cause. Also make sure your baking powder is fresh 😇

[@jamiljamil7664]

I baked as bread loaf, after taking out of oven it sank from the middle, bottom part is quite dense..any help.what i did wrong( i used gluten free baking powder, did it make the difference?)

[@zaracooks]

Sorry for you 🥲 I don’t think the gluten free baking powder is the cause of dense center! It could be because of a runnier batter (have you drained the lentils really well)? It could also be the baking time. It takes way more the height of the bread is too high (it could be that, actually). I recommend to use a larger baking pan that you can get used to the right batter consistency and baking time before baking in a loaf pan 🙏

[@Banana-lk7tf]

These look so good! Can you taste the lentils? Or is it a more neutral taste? Also, does it have to be red lentils? I may try to make hamburger buns with this recipe.😊

[@zaracooks]

Thank you 🥰 No, you don’t really taste lentils. They have a taste quite plain and rather like a pain brioché. Yes, to get this kind of fluffinesses and neutral taste it has to be red lentils or skinless mung beans. They too, have a “floury” texture and a plain taste 🙏

Merci pour votre inspiration, on peut utiliser une autre lentille hors mis la lentille corail ? J'ai la lentille jaune

[@zaracooks]

Vous pouvez l’essayer pour voir. Je pense que le pain va être plus dense avec un goût de lentilles plus prononcé mais, je crois que ça va être bon pareil 🙏

[@SC03]

Red lentils are light in texture so it's best suited to make bread. If using the brown or green they are heavier lentils hence they will be dense in texture. Try using 2 Tbs of Psyllium husk to the batter once in the bowl, not to the blender. Let it rest for 10 mins n it will be lighter in texture.

[@ConnorJackson-h2q]

Lentil is much denser than regular flour, so that it doesn’t rise too high. It will rise maximum like a 1/3 of what you pour. Also, may be the batter was a bit more runny than it should (you need to strain completely from water once you rinse, that can make the batter too wet and rather compact in the center). It takes some try and fail to get the best result. Then you will really enjoy how good and versatile working with red lentils can be 🙏

how do you get rid of the strong lentil smell which to me is the biggest turn off?

[@zaracooks]

I find the lentil smell of these breads made with red lentils is way more soft than if made with regular lentils. But if you still find it overwhelming, you can add herbs and spices you love. For example dried oregano, fennel, cumin, etc

Will these work in a muffin tin if we don't have a mini loaf tin?

[@zaracooks]

Yes, absolutely! You can use any of your existing muffin pans (make sur you pour no more than 1/2 a cup of batter). You can process the same way for the baking part 🙏🥰

Can we make it as loaf of bread ? (Normal bread shape) and not as shortbread

[@zaracooks]

Yes, absolutely. Just make sure you use rather a larger baking pan that the batter height won’t be too high. To guarantee an even baking through 🙏

How long do they need to soak exactly?

[@zaracooks]

At least for 6 hours. I do personally soak them overnight in the fridge. It’ll help get a softer batter that is more airy 🙏

[@mandydarcy-kincaid1303]

Does this work in larger tin, or is it better in the type you've used? 🙂

[@zaracooks]

Yes, you can use a larger and wider baking pan (like a 21 cm large one), they will have a similar height (2 cm) as in the recipe here. You can cut the size you like 🙏

I am not allowed to use dairy and am allergic to soy... What do you suggest to use instead of cottage cheese or can I just leave it out?

[@zaracooks]

Coconut cream is fantastic for this recipe or any creamy thick non dairy yogurt product you love will be a good substitute 🙏🥰

[@saschwarz88]

Thank you very much. I just left it out and they are really good. I used 3 eggs and 10 gr, baking powder

[@terry5189]

Can they be made in a air fryer ?

[@zaracooks]

If that what you use for your cake and bread recipes, then yes, you can !

[@Jaques2go]

Wonder if u could make 1.big loaf

[@zaracooks]

Yes, you can 👍 Just make sure not to fill the pan too high (half way through will be best) or you have to bake for much longer than 40 mins because the lentil batter tends to be much denser 🙏

Can I use green lentils? I think they taste the same no?

[@zaracooks]

You can try if you wish but I don’t recommend it. The presence of the lentils skin (that’s the only difference with red lentils) won’t give the same shape, taste or texture!

[@melyj336]

Can I use green lentils? ❤

[@zaracooks]

I haven’t used green lentils before, the texture is quite different. But if you can’t have red lentils, try with mung beans (skinless version). They also have a texture suited for these gluten free breads 🙏
