Cauliflower bread is a great low-carb, gluten-free alternative to regular bread. It’s soft, slightly cheesy, and works well for sandwiches or as a side.
Simple Cauliflower Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups cauliflower (grated or finely processed)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2–3 tbsp grated parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley or coriander (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the cauliflower
Steam or microwave the grated cauliflower for 4–5 minutes until soft. Let it cool, then squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean cloth—this step is crucial. - Mix
In a bowl, combine cauliflower, eggs, cheese, and seasonings. - Shape
Spread the mixture on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Form it into a flat rectangle or small rounds (like sandwich bread slices). - Bake
Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm. - Cool slightly
Let it set before cutting or lifting.
Tips for success
- Removing moisture is the most important step
- Cheese helps bind and improve texture
- Don’t expect it to be exactly like wheat bread—it’s softer and more delicate
Variations
- Crispier: Bake a little longer or flip halfway
- Dairy-free: Skip cheese, add an extra egg and a bit of almond flour
- Spiced (desi twist): Add cumin, chili powder, and coriander
Serving ideas
- Use as sandwich bread
- Pair with egg salad or grilled chicken
- Serve alongside soups or curries
If you want, I can give you a version that’s more like flatbread/roti or one that holds better for sandwiches.
