Salt, to taste

Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish with vegetable oil.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lentils, water, olive oil, eggs, and salt. Mix well.
Add Leavening Agents: Add the baking soda and apple cider vinegar to the mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Incorporate Psyllium Seeds: Stir in the psyllium seeds and let the mixture soak for 10 to 15 minutes.
Toast Seeds: Meanwhile, lightly toast the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in a skillet over medium heat.
Fold in Seeds: After soaking, fold the toasted seeds into the batter until evenly distributed.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve your delicious and nutritious lentil seed bread.
