    A paleo, gluten free and low carb flatbread made with broccoli and coconut flour.  Bright, colourful and delicious.

    A bread from broccoli? Madness you cry!  After a day playing around with cauliflower, I looked at a large bunch of broccoli I had in the fridge and thought to myself "Dare I?".   I did and I loved the result.  It's something you could have fun playing around with by adding other flavourings and perhaps some cheese too.   I baked it in a square cake tin and the result was a soft yet firm flat bread.  You could make a decent sandwich out of this or even toast it.  I had some with salsa, the Chief Taster had an open sandwich with his half.  Freak the children out! Give them a green sandwich! Hee hee...Oooh, something healthy and green for St Patrick's' Day perhaps?

    I put basil in it to give it a bit of flavour but this is optional.  If you don't have coconut flour, I think almond flour or even ground flax seeds would still work.  Move over cauliflower rice, you have a new contender from broccoli!

    UPDATE: - I've now baked this with ground flaxseed in place of the psyllium powder and it works out great!

      Do you think this would work with flax eggs? I'm allergic to eggs

      I've now tried this with ground flaxseed in place of the psyllium powder and it worked out just fine. I think I might actually prefer that version and it's lower in carbs too! I've updated the recipe with this. Happy baking! 🙂

        Hello,

        I tried making this recipe but the bread completely fell apart. 🙁 I am not sure what it was that I did wrong. Maybe, I riced the broccoli in an incorrect way? (I did use a food processor).

        Oh well, it's broccoli so I am going to eat it all up anyway. 🙂

        I am planning to try one of you all-coconut flour bread recipes today.

        You are the first low carb recipe maker i have seen who creates such a huge variety of a bread recipes. I suppose you are a bread lover. Please keep them coming! 🙂

        Thank you! 🙂

          Hmm.. Wonder what happened there..perhaps another egg to bind would help. I have made this a couple of times and use a food processor too. Am glad you are enjoying the recipes! Thanks for popping by and keep the feedback coming!

      Hello there,

      This recipe looks extremely tempting! Could you suggest a replacement for the psyllium husk powder?

      Thank you for your time!

        Hi Veena! Glad I'm tempting you! You could use ground flaxseed instead. I use the psyllium powder as a binder and flaxseed should be fine. Hope you enjoy it!

          Thank you so much for your prompt response! 🙂 Very kind of you.
          I have a lot of flaxseed meal waiting to be used at home. Going to try this! 😀

          Thank you once again!

      When you say "line a tin..." Do you mean a loaf pan or a square pan? Thanks 🙂

        Hi Mark, I mean a square pan tin (it's what I used). Enjoy!

          Could you please give pan dimensions on your recipes? The "small pan" vs. the appearance of the bread slices is confusing. I'm new to this, looking forward to trying your tempting recipes, and pan size would help me a lot. Thank you!

            Hi Nilla, I use a square tin which is 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm). I cut mine into strips for the picture for a midday snack! I hope you enjoy the baking and thanks for popping by!
