Gluten-free bread isn’t just for allergy sufferers, this tasty lentil bread is super simple and really surprised me. Of course, it doesn’t contain any flour and only contains red lentils, water and a few spices. You don’t need more for a juicy, filling bread that tastes mildly nutty. I like it very much because it is easy to prepare. You don’t have to knead it, it doesn’t have to rise, you hardly have to put any effort into it. Just soak the lentils the evening before. Simply mix the ingredients, put them in the oven and your new favorite bread is ready! It is ideal for breakfast, as a small snack in between, with soup and salad. I toasted it that way I like it best. Finally a bread that you can enjoy with a clear conscience – try it out!
