Beautiful golden color. My nephew asked for seconds.
I make it in a cast iron pan. Excellent crust.
Decent but a bit flat. Baking powder was probably old.
My father has stage three kidney disease. His dietitian gave us a strict list of what he cannot eat, and regular bread was on it because of the phosphorus and additives. I spent weeks looking for something he could enjoy. When I made this lentil bread and he took the first bite, he closed his eyes and said it reminded him of his mother's kitchen in Cordoba. He is 78 years old and has not eaten bread in two years. I cried. He cried. We are making this every Sunday now.
I am from Buenos Aires. My grandmother also made red lentil bread. When I saw this recipe I felt she was with me in the kitchen again.
