FAQ:
Q: Can I use canned lentils instead of soaking dry ones?
A: It's better to use dry lentils soaked overnight for the right texture, but if using canned lentils, rinse thoroughly and reduce the added water slightly.
Q: Is it necessary to grind the rice and flaxseeds fresh?
A: Yes, freshly ground rice and flaxseeds ensure the best texture and nutritional value. Pre-ground versions might not bind as well.
Q: Can I substitute the apple?
A: You can swap the apple for grated carrot or pear for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Q: Why is this bread yeast-free and sugar-free?
A: Lentils and flaxseeds naturally create a binding, rise-like effect without needing yeast or added sugars, making it great for people with dietary restrictions.
