Grain Free Cauliflower Bread Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 cup cauliflower ("riced" using food processor or bought as riced*)

  • 10 large egg (separated)

  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional but helps)

  • 1 1/4 cup organic coconut flour

  • 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp sea salt (my top pick for salt is noted at bottom)

  • 6 tbsp grass-fed butter (**unsalted, measured solid, then melted; **can use ghee for dairy-free)

  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a 9x5 in (23x13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. Steam the riced cauliflower. You can do this in the microwave (cooked for 3-4 minutes, covered in plastic) OR in a steamer basket over water on the stove (line with cheesecloth if the holes in the steamer basket are too big, and steam for a few minutes). Both ways, steam until the cauliflower is soft and tender. Allow the cauliflower to cool enough to handle.

  3. Meanwhile, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

  4. Place the coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, egg yolks, melted butter, garlic, and 1/4 of the whipped egg whites in a food processor.

  5. When the cauliflower has cooled enough to handle, wrap it in kitchen towel and squeeze several times to release as much moisture as possible. (This is important - the end result should be very dry and clump together.) Add the cauliflower to the food processor. Process until well combined. (Mixture will be dense and a little crumbly.)

  6. Add the remaining egg whites to the food processor. Fold in just a little, to make it easier to process. Pulse a few times until just incorporated. (Mixture will be fluffy.) Fold in the chopped parsley and rosemary. (Don't overmix to avoid breaking down the egg whites too much.)

  7. Transfer the batter into the lined baking pan. Smooth the top and round slightly. If desired, you can press more herbs into the top (optional).

  8. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden. Cool completely before removing and slicing.

**Redmond Real Salt * is unrefined, which means it doesn't come from water with salt in it that the water has been evaporated from. ... It doesn't have chemicals in it like most salts and it contains many different minerals and elements that are useful for the body and necessary for life.

How to make garlic bread (optional): Top slices generously with butter or ghee, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and a little sea salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees F (233 degrees C) for about 10 minutes. If you want it more browned, place under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
