Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup dry split red lentils
  • ⅓ cup dry quinoa
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Rinse lentils and quinoa until water runs clear. Soak in a large volume of water overnight (4 hours minimum recommended for best texture). Drain and rinse again.
  • Preheat oven to 430 °F (convection).
  • Add the lentils, quinoa, ¼ cup fresh water, baking powder, olive oil, sea salt, garlic, and oregano to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Line a large baking tray with baking paper, and pour half the batter in the center. Use the back of a ladle to create a circle, and aim for about ¼ cm thick. Cook on the lower rack of the oven for a crispier crust.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, gently flip using a spatula (it can be a little sticky, it's okay, take your time, to not break it), and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, flip the crust, add your favorite toppings, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until your toppings have melted/are cooked; using the top rack will help get the topping cooked quicker.
  • Repeat with the seconf half of the batter. Enjoy!
