To say that i was skeptical about this recipe would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. I have tried cauliflower crusts, breadsticks, and bread recipes before but man they ALWAYS fell short of expectation.
But HOLD THE FREAKIN PHONE. I think i found a recipe that conquers, beats and destroys ALLLLL other clean eating breadstick recipes!!! Eeeee!!!!
AND for all of my 21 Day Fixers, it IS 21DF approved! **Insert squeal here! =)**
⇢Yields 5 Cauli Sticks (for me at least)--> 3 sticks is equal to 1 green container & ½ blue container⇠
⬇⬇⬇Recipe breakdown below ⬇⬇⬇
Ingredients:
⭐ 1 small bag of Cauliflower
⭐ 1 large egg
⭐ 2 cloves of minced garlic (or 1 tsp of minced garlic)
⭐ 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
⭐ ½ Cup of 1% shredded Mozzarella cheese
⭐ ½ TSP of Salt
⭐ ½ TSP of pepper
⭐ 1 TSP Oregano
⭐ 1 TSP Basil
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) In small pan sauté olive oil and garlic for 1-2 minutes until it browns. Try not to burn the garlic! It wouldn’t be the first time i’ve burnt garlic on a pan lol Set to the side and save it for the mixings!
3) In a food processor chop cauliflower until it looks like rice. You want it finely chopped but not total mush.
4) Place the cauliflower rice in a cheesecloth (or Bounty paper towel like i did lol) and wring out all excess moisture.
5) Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Combine cauliflower with egg, olive oil, garlic, cheese, and seasonings.
6) Line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper (leaving extra parchment paper so that you can lift the loaf out of the pan) and spray with olive oil. Dump cauliflower mixture into the bread pan and press down evenly. Bake for 25-30.
***ALTERNATIVE---> you could use a glass baking dish (pyrex) and oil up the sides and cook your bread about 5-7 minutes longer***
7) Like a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil. When loaf is finished baking, remove from oven, carefully flip the loaf onto a baking sheet so it is upside down. You can lift it out of the bread pan by the parchment paper if necessary.
8) Bake for 15 more min until loaf is golden brown.
9) Turn oven to broil.
10) Remove loaf from oven, sprinkle worth a little more mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, oregano and basil.
I cut the bread here into slices and broiled for an extra 5-7 min until cheese melts. Plus it helps the cauliflower get a little crispy.
And voila! Some pretty amazing (& tasty!) breadsticks! I wish i would have snagged a photo sooner. But alas, my boyfriend couldn't resist taking 2 sticks while i was letting it cool.
