Equipment

1 Large baking sheet
1 food processor
1 large spoon or cookie dough scoop

Ingredients

2 cups dried red lentils soaked overnight
1/2 cup psyllium husk
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp sea salt
1.25 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Soak the Lentils minimum 4 hrs

Soak the Lentils overnight: Transfer the dry lentils to a medium mixing bowl and add water to cover. Let them soak for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible.
Rinse Lentils: After soaking, drain lentils into a mesh sieve and discard the water. Rinse lentils under a running tap.

Making the Dinner Rolls

When you're ready to make your loaves, preheat the oven to 350 F.
Prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
Process: Add red lentils, psyllium husk, eggs, olive oil, water, salt, and baking soda to a food processor. Pour the apple cider vinegar directly over the baking soda. You will get a bubbling reaction which will help your rolls rise.
Process the ingredients in the food processor until smooth.
Use a large spoon to scoop out about 1/3 cup of dough. Roll into a ball and place on your baking sheet. Put a little olive oil on your hands if the dough is really sticky. Leave about 2 inches between each ball.
Bake in pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes.
