Notes

As an alternative, make the dough forward of time and make the lentil loaf forward of time, and preserve them within the fridge for as much as 2 to three days. Then, when you’re prepared, roll out the dough, place your lentil loafs in it, after which bake simply earlier than you’re prepared in your get together.
This loaf is fairly moist, relying on how lengthy you bake it. For those who bake it a bit too lengthy, the crust would possibly get a bit extra crispy, so it positively advantages from being served with a gravy.

If you wish to make it with out nuts, you may convert it right into a lentil loaf with out the pastry, or if yow will discover a gluten-free, nut-free puff pastry then use that.
