List of items needed to make something.

Lentils: 180 grams, which is equal to 1 cup.

Eggs: 2 big

Yogurt: 100 grams (1/2 cup)

Salt: 1/4 teaspoon (adjust to your liking)

Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Parmesan cheese: 30 grams (1/4 cup, grated)

Parsley: 1 tablespoon (chopped into small pieces)

Baking powder: 10 grams, which is the same as 2 teaspoons.

Olive oil: 20 ml (equivalent to 1 1/2 tablespoons)

Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon (to sprinkle)

Vegetable oil: to coat the pan

Instructions:

Prepare the lentils: Put 180 grams of lentils in a bowl, cover them with water, and leave them to soak for at least 1 hour. After soaking, wash and remove all the water from the lentils completely.

Make the batter: In a bowl, mix together the lentils that have been soaked, 2 eggs, and 100 grams of yogurt. Mix the ingredients with a hand blender until they are smooth.

Sprinkle some salt, 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic, 30 g of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Stir thoroughly to mix.

Use Baking Powder and Olive Oil: Put 10 grams of baking powder and 20 milliliters of olive oil into the mix. Mix until everything is thoroughly blended.

Get the Baking Pan Ready: Coat a baking pan with vegetable oil to avoid food sticking to it.

Pour the lentil mixture into the baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Add toppings: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds on top for a crispy touch.

Make the Bread: Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cook the bread in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is a golden color and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let the bread cool down a bit before cutting it. Serve the dish hot or at room temperature.

Ideas for how to serve.

Enjoy as a tasty breakfast with some fresh vegetables or a salad on the side.

Use as a base for sandwiches or toast and add avocado, hummus, or cheese on top.

You can eat this with soups, stews, or curries.

Tips for Cooking

Verify the Texture: If the batter is too thick, add some more yogurt or water until it becomes smooth.

Soaking the lentils makes them soft, easier to blend, and digest.

Cheese Options: Instead of Parmesan, you can use other hard cheeses such as cheddar or pecorino to get different tastes.
