📝 Ingredients

  • 1 střední květák
  • 1/2 lžičky soli
  • 2 lžíce psyllia
  • 2 vejce
  • 3 lžíce lahůdkového droždí
  • 4 lžíce mletého lněného semínka
  • kmín
  • pepř
  • sušený česnek a sůl dle chuti

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1

    Květák rozeber na růžičky a uvař doměkka (já jsem ho “uvařila” v mikrovlnce v misce s trochou vody alá hack mý mamky 🤣)

  2. 2

    Rozmixuj ho na „kousky” nebo nastrouhej.

  3. 3

    Přidej vejce, česnek, psyllium (nebo lněné semínko), lahůdkové droždí a koření.

  4. 4

    Promíchej – vznikne husté těsto. Nech 5–10 min odstát, ať psyllium nasákne.

  5. 5

    Směs dej do formy vyložené pečicím papírem. Posyp semínky (volitelné) a peč na 180 °C cca 40–50 min dozlatova.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Steam cauliflower to exactly 85% doneness (fork-tender but not mushy) because overcooking releases excess water that creates a soggy, dense bread texture.technique85% doneness
  • After mixing psyllium into the batter, let it hydrate for exactly 8-10 minutes as psyllium absorbs 10x its weight in water, creating the gluten-like binding structure.timing8-10 minutes
  • Squeeze processed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel to remove 70-80% of moisture content, as excess water prevents proper binding and creates a crumbly texture.technique70-80% moisture removal
  • Bake at exactly 180°C for the full 40-50 minutes even if surface browns early - internal temperature must reach 95°C to fully activate psyllium's binding properties.timing180°C, 95°C internal
  • Use room temperature eggs because cold eggs won't properly emulsify with the cauliflower mixture, reducing the bread's structural integrity by up to 30%.ingredient30% structure reduction
