Low carb grain-free gluten-free broccoli bread sticks

Makes 12-15 breadsticks or one pizza crust

Ingredients:

• 1 head of broccoli – chopped to make 4 cups
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast (could do some cheese if you would like)
• 1 tablespoon psyllium husk (can be omitted)
• 2 whole eggs (could try a flax-gel for replacement)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• handful of fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 375° F.
2. Have a baking sheet ready to place bread sticks on.
3. Remove the some of the broccoli stem. Begin to chop the broccoli into chunks; depending on size broccoli head – you should hopefully get around 4 cups.
4. Add the chopped brocoli to a food processor or Vitamix and pulse until the texture is similar to rice.
5. Add in your nutritional yeast, psyllium husk, sea salt, and basil. Pulse till combined.
6. In a bowl place your pulsed broccoli mixture with your eggs and water. And stir.
7. Spread dough out evenly over baking sheet– can make as thick or thin as you like.
8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle.
9. Remove the crust from the oven. And enjoy.

To make vegan with the flax-gel we would suggest adding in some baking powder about 1/2-1 tsp to help lift the bread sticks as the eggs help hold it together but also lift.

Eddie was blogging about broccoli bread yesterday, we had never heard of it before. Hopping around on the internet today I found these beauties. Check it out they look fantastic and is on our to do list over the next few days. Recipe and photograph taken from here.

All the best Jan
