**Prepare the Lentils**: In a pot, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.

**Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

**Blend the Mixture**: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked lentils, rolled oats, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, chopped parsley, and rosemary. If using, add chia seeds.

**Add Rising Agents**: Sprinkle the baking powder and baking soda over the mixture, and stir until everything is well combined.

**Form the Dough**: Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a thick dough forms. It may be slightly sticky, which is okay!

**Bake the Bread**: Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

**Cool and Serve**: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
This warm, hearty bread combines the earthy flavors of green lentils and rolled oats with fragrant garlic and assorted fresh herbs. It’s perfect for sandwiches or just slathered with a bit of olive oil.
