We know that one of the hardest things to give up when living a real food paleo inspired diet is bread! So we are super dooooper excited about this Cauliflower Pita Bread recipe!
Let’s be honest, traditional bread tastes good, but you usually feel crap after (full, sick, gassy, bloated, heavy, tired = crap). Are we right? This recipe is awesome because it is pretty much just cauliflower, eggs and a little coconut flour! Ummmm amazing! Plus it’s a delicious way to get more veggies in to your day! YAY! More veggies is ALWAYS a great idea!
These cauliflower pita breads are perfect for parties and for spreading delicious ingredients on top… you can even make mini pizzas!
We hope you love this recipe as much as us! Let us know what you think, share the love on Facebook and Instagram using #themerrymakersisters
Always merrymaking,

p.s this recipe features in our Make It Merry cookbook along with 70 other quick, easy and delish recipes to boost your health and happiness!
- 3 cups pureed cauliflower (this is the florets of 1 cauliflower, cooked then blended until smooth)
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried rosemary
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- salt and pepper
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl combine the pureed cauliflower, eggs, coconut flour, oregano, rosemary, onion powder and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir until well combined.
- Spread out the mixture on to the baking tray to 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
- Place in to the oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and put under a hot grill for 10 minutes (this turns it a nice brown colour!)
- Remove from grill and flip. We did this by placing another baking tray with baking paper on top of the cauliflower pita and turned it upside down.
- Place back under the grill for a further 5 minutes.
- Cut up in to desired slices (we like mini squares).
- Let cool as they will harden a little. We served ours with simple mashed avocado!
- You could even make mini pizzas with these! YUM!

Out of interest do these have an eggy taste? I’ve made different crackera that have lots of eggs and often it over powers the taste, i dont eat eggs by themselves, dont kike the taste

The cauliflower is the dominant taste and we definitely loved them! You could add extra spices if you’re worried. Or try with a half batch just in case! 😉
Thanks will give them a whirl…

Yay!
I have an egg intolerance…..any suggestions for a substitute in this recipe?

Hi Gillian! Hmmm we’re not sure if it would work… but you could try chia egg replacer.
1 egg = 1 tbs. chia seeds mixed with 3 tbs. water.
As we said we’re not 100% sure if it will work, but worth a try! Have you seen these egg free cracker recipe? https://themerrymakersisters.com/paleo-vita-wheats/
Thanks for following along! 🙂 e + c
Can you freeze them?
Just made these pita breads and had them with pumpkin soup! Next time I’m going to try with a sweet mix of spices to accompany a Thai curry or Moroccan tagine. Thanks girls for your enthusiasm for all things healthy!

Hi Sandra! YAY! That sounds absolutely delish! Great idea to add some spices! <3

Hi Sophie! They go quite soft, so we’re going to say no! Only because they will end up quite soggy when defrosting 🙂

Just made this for lunch,I love it. I have been looking for a bread without baking soda in it (don’t like the taste) so this was perfect. I spread it with avocado and as you say YUM!
Author
Hi Joyce! That’s AWESOME to here! YAY! Your lunch sounds ridiculously yum! <3
I’m not that keen on cauliflower is there another vegetable that would work
Author
Hey Gabrielle! You could try sweet potato! IN fact, it will probably work better! Let us know how you go! 🙂
Going to introduce this to my daughter in-la hope she likes it, will let you know
Author
Oh! Great! Look forward to hearing back!
How long do these keep for?
Author
Hi Gemma, they are best eaten straight away but you can keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. 🙂
Hi, could you freeze these?
Author
Hi KAte, we’ve never tried and we feel like it may go a bit soggy after freezing but give it a go! We know this bread freezes really well https://themerrymakersisters.com/grain-free-gluten-free-pumpkin-bread/ SO YUMMY!
Hi girls, these look fantastic. Do you think I could substitute the coconut flour with something like almond flour?
I have just made this with sweet potato instead of cauli flower and it worked perfectly. Delicious.
Author
Brill! That’s SO awesome Jan!
Author
That should work well Helen 🙂 You may need a little more almond meal and coconut flour is quite drying 🙂
I made this and it turned out all mushy! Are you supposed to squeeze out the cauliflower? How is the cauliflower supposed to be cooked (I assumed steamed). Urg. Your pics look so good, bummer. :/
Author
That is no gooood! It is defineitly is a softer ‘bread’. It doesn’t really matter how you cook it, as it’s pureed into a liquid. Squeezing liquid out could help! It’s defineitly worked for us without squeezing out the liquid so maybe also ensure it’s cooked long enough. 🙂 xxx
hi Emma and Carla!
this looks so yummy i havent had pitta bread in for ever!
YAY! <3
Hi just wondering can you pan fry these to brown instead of the grill??
Thank you
Author
We have not tried but we think it would work! 🙂
Love the look of this, just started on low fod map diet and we can’t do onions (assumably not onion powder either) any suggestions for a substitute ? Thanks ladies keep up the great work
Author
Hey Rachelle! You can just skip the onions and add any herb/spice you can eat? And thank you! 🙂 🙂
