Red Lentil Chia Seed Flat Bread

I experimented with a few variations of flatbread to pair with egg salad, and this is a loose version of my simple recipe. It’s hearty, easy to make, and the longest step is soaking red lentils for about two hours. I love adding extra flavor, so I used Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning—normally my go-to for smoking tri tip—in the batter instead of pepper. I never realized bread could pack so much protein and flavor!  It may not be pretty, but I cut it to squares or have it as an open-faced sandwich :-)

Ingredients

  • 1 C red lentils 
  • 1 1/3 C water
  • 2 T chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 t garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 t Hardcore Carnivore Black seasoning
  • Olive oil to drizzle on pan

Directions

  1. Soak red lentils about 2 hours.
  2. Drain and rinse lentils.
  3. Add lentils to blender or food processor.
  4. Add 1 1/3 cup water and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the lentils to a small bowl.
  6. Add and mix the chia seeds, garlic salt and Black seasoning.
  7. Rest about 10 minutes, until the chia seeds gel with mixture.
  8. Heat oven to 400F.
  9. Place parchment on pan and drizzle olive oil on the bottom to keep from sticking.
  10. Add the batter and spread in pan.  I was able to fill 2 small pans for the batter.
  11. Bake 20 minutes.
  12. Reduce heat to 350F and flip bread, bake another 5 minutes or so.
  13. Enjoy warm from the oven or toast for next day.
