Here’s a super easy homemade bun/flatbread recipe, made with a few simple ingredients. We’re using red lentils, psyllium husk and baking powder. These are gluten-free, grain-free (if you make your own baking powder like me!), egg-free, dairy-free, and vegan, and packed with nutrients.

And watch to the end to see how to sub out all or some lentils for quinoa!!

INGREDIENTS

•1 cup red lentils (soaked in water for 3-4 hours or overnight)

•1/3 cup water, warm (this helps activate the psyllium husk)

•1/4 cup psyllium husk

•2 tsp baking powder

•1/2 tsp sea salt

FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD:

-Add soaked lentils and water to your food processor & process until smooth (stop and scrape sides as required)

-Sprinkle in psyllium husk, baking powder & salt and blend again until a dough ball forms (a ball will form and start to go around the food processor).

BLENDER METHOD:

-If you don’t have a food processor, blend the lentils and water in a blender, then transfer to a mixing bowl, sprinkle psyllium, baking powder and salt over the mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms (it takes a few minutes for the psyllium to fully hydrate and form a workable dough)

BAKE:

-Divide into 6 buns and bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes (or divide into less, larger buns and bake longer - they will feel lighter when they are baked, similar to the 3-ingredient flax bread)

-Let cool, then enjoy!!

-I like to slice any leftovers in half, and freeze with a small piece of parchment between the bun halves so they’re easy to defrost at a moments notice.
