Cauliflower Bread

This is my favorite cauliflower bread recipe. This loaf of bread is sturdy enough for sandwiches, toast and any other bread substitution.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely riced cauliflower
  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 6 tbsp canola oil, (use olive oil if making paleo or keto)
  • 1 ¼ cup superfine almond flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Microwave cauliflower for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Allow cauliflower to cool. Once cooled, place a small amount in a tea towel and wring dry. Repeat with remaining cauliflower, working in small batches.
  • Add egg whites to a mixing bowl. Beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs yolks, oil, almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until a smooth paste forms. Stir in the cauliflower until evenly mixed.
  • Add about ¼ of the egg whites to the paste. Use a spatula to fold in the egg whites, When egg whites are completely folded in, add in another batch of egg whites and repeat until all egg whites are incorporated. The mixture should look pale and fluffy. Be careful not to beat the egg whites because that will cause them to lose the air whipped into them and the bread will not properly rise.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until bread is done. Allow bread to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • If you are making a paleo version of this recipe, substitute the canola oil with olive oil and use a homemade paleo baking powder.
  • Rice the cauliflower until it resembles coarse crumbs. You want the cauliflower to be finer than if you were making a cauliflower rice dish.
  • If you do not wish to use the microwave to cook the cauliflower, you can steam it before drying.
  • I intentionally made a plain loaf because I wanted something similar to white bread. However, you can easily make this bread more flavorful by adding other toppings like shredded cheese, fresh or dried herbs. If you are adding toppings to flavor the bread, add them when you add in the cauliflower.
