Cauliflower breadsticks and pizza crusts have been showing up on health food blogs for the past year or so, pushing kale chips and spinach smoothies to the side. I am a massive fan of cauliflower pizza and make it for dinner about once a month, but I find the process of grating the cauliflower and microwaving it in batches to be quite time consuming.


I was on a ‘cooking with cauliflower’ spree last weekend and after making couscous salad, I had leftover cauliflower rice that was calling to me. My hope was to add the raw cauliflower rice to the bread dough to create a cornbread like consistency. It turns out that the cauliflower rice completely cooked in the dough which resulted in a light and moist bread that you would never guess contained cauliflower.


I am absolutely loving this bread, it is delicious and incredibly easy to make. One bowl, no kneading, no resting time, you just throw all of the ingredients together, mix, place on a baking sheet in the oven, and 20 minutes later you have a delicious loaf of bread.


Don’t worry, even those who dislike cauliflower will love this bread as the cauliflower is undetectable. This is a great way to sneak an extra serving of vegetables into even the pickiest of eaters diet. The cauliflower replaces half of the almond flour which means you’re cutting down on a large amount of calories and carbs while increasing the nutrients in each slice.


Cauliflower has an endless list of health benefits and is high in potassium, vitamin K, fibre, magnesium and vitamin C so there is no need to feel guilty when you reach for a second slice. For this loaf I used what I had leftover in the fridge; jalapenos, cheddar and bacon but you can use any combination of flavours including sundried tomatoes, thyme, basil, caramelized onions or feta.


This bread is delicious topped with butter, it toasts really well and is the perfect thickness to use as sandwich bread.  Give this bread a try and let me know if you become a cauliflower convert.
