Who says homemade bread needs flour? These soft red lentil buns are made with just a handful of simple ingredients, yet they’re wonderfully fluffy, satisfying, and naturally gluten-free. Red lentils provide plant-based protein and fiber, while psyllium husk gives the buns their soft texture without any flour. They’re perfect for sandwiches, burgers, breakfast, or as a healthy side with soups and salads.
