Cauliflower Garlic Flatbread
I have been seeing lots of pins on pinterest of pizza bases uses cauliflower and since I made restrictions to my diet I have discovered just how versatile cauliflower is. I use it for mash, roasted, grated as rice and I had an idea to turn it into garlic bread, it was a bit of an experiment with ingredients, but oh my it worked very well. You will perhaps see quite a few variations on this now and of course best of all, cauliflower is superfree.

- Half a medium cauliflower
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 eggs
- 114g of Parmesan cheese (4xHEa's)
- 2 tablespoons of coconut flour (3.5 syns) you can try using another flour, but as coconut flour is quite fibrous you may need to use a bigger quantity if you replace it.
- 2 basil leafs finely chopped
- Few parsley leafs finely chopped
- Olive oil spray
- Salt and black pepper
- Place cauliflower and two of the cloves of garlic in a steamer and cook till fork tender (it is important to use a steamer and not submerge in water or the cauliflower will absorb too much liquid)
- Allow to cool
- Preheat oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
- Add the cauliflower to a blender with the two eggs and blend just until smooth
- Add to a bowl and stir in the Parmesan, herbs, coconut flour and season with some salt and pepper.
- Stir well to combine
- Line a baking tray with some parchment paper and spread the mixture out over the tray, you want it to be quite thin like a flatbread.
- Place in oven and bake till lightly golden all over (but take out half way through when bread has firmed)
