Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat onto a baking tray.
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower:
    • Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until tender, then allow it to cool slightly.

    • Mix well to combine.
  4. Prepare the Eggs:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are creamy and smooth.
  5. Combine Ingredients:
    • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cauliflower mixture, followed by the egg yolks. Mix until just combined, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Shape and Bake:
    • Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a loaf or spread it out to form a flatbread.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Serve:
    • Remove the cauliflower bread from the oven and let it cool slightly.
