How to Make Gluten Free Lentil Cheese Bread Step by Step
1: Prepare Your Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a loaf pan lightly with olive oil or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2: Mix the Batter
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, eggs, yogurt, salt, dried garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, baking powder, and olive oil.
- Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly combined. The batter will look thick but slightly pourable.
3: Assemble and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds generously across the surface for added crunch and aroma.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4: Cool and Slice
- Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Slice into thick or thin pieces depending on your serving style.
Flavor Variations You Must Try

Nutty Powerhouse Version
- Fold 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts or almonds into the batter.
