Gluten Free Nut Free Low Carb & Cal Bread Recipe!

So, the cake has been going down pretty well! Even a few have been tricked into thinking it was 'normal' cake so all good!

The bread recipe is pretty similar:

700 g cauliflower
175g unflavoured protein powder (I used Reflex Instant Whey)
2 eggs,
Tsp baking powder
Spices to taste: Celtic sea salt and ground black pepper plus others as you like - first batch I used garam masala and lots of cumin, another batch I used rosemary. Could also add nuts, dried fruit - whatever! Let me know what you try!


Steam then puree the cauliflower while the oven is heating up to 150 degrees centigrade (whatever that is in crazy F...).
Stir in the egg (ideally let the cauliflower cool a bit so it doesn't scramble on contact!) and the protein powder and spices.
Add the tsp baking powder.

Pour into large, flat flan tins, greased lightly with coconut oil for best results (I tried with cake / loaf tins but ended up a bit too moist for convincing bread).

Place into the oven (150 degrees C) for about 30 mins, or until the colour has changed to golden brown. You can adjust cooking time to come out with a moister or drier bread to suit.

Leave to cool, or eat some straight away with butter and marmite if you have a yearning for such a thing (something from my childhood I miss without bread in my diet, so was the first thing I did, straight out of the oven, yum!)

I cut each large, flatbread into 4 quarters, then keep some in the fridge and freeze the rest individually. Then just toast on low to defrost and re-heat as you want them.

For a pizza base, you would just take the full bread out, add toppings as you like then return to the oven on 'grill'.
