Want an easy and healthy bread recipe that is naturally gluten-free? You can’t get any easier than this low carb cheesy garlic bread cooked in your crock pot!
That slow cooker of mine has become a well-loved kitchen tool. It wasn’t long ago that I eschewed most slow cooker or crockpot recipes, thinking that they weren’t very good and resulted in flavourless, tough meats and over-stewed vegetables. I know now that this was largely due to my old crock pot, which wasn’t very good and always gave off a funny smell when it heated up. Now that I own a better slow cooker, I can see the appeal in using it for anything and everything. I still love to use my oven, my stove, and my grill, but popping some ingredients into the slow cooker and walking away can make dinner prep a snap. It also happens to be VERY useful for desserts, as evidenced by my penchant for creating low carb slow cooker cakes.
And now it turns out to be quite useful for making low carb bread, too. Cauliflower bread, to be specific. I saw a cool recipe for a crockpot cheese pizza with cauliflower crust and felt very inspired to try a version of it myself. I found the basic batter a little too wet, so I added some coconut flour to help absorb the extra moisture. I also added more cheese to the batter to help it hold together a little better. I sprinkled it plenty of minced garlic and topped it with more cheese and then let it cook away! The results were delicious and it was so easy to make. Another win for the slow cooker!

After making this, how long can it be refrigerated for? Is it good to freeze, and if so, what would be the best method to heat it back up?
Carolyn says
I never tried to freeze it. But the leftovers should be kept in the fridge and are good for a few days.
Ruth Mowry says
Sounds yummy Carolyn.. Are the nutritional values for entire recipe?? or ea. serving/? thanks
Carolyn says
Always per serving.
Kathleen says
I made this tonight and my husband and I really enjoyed it! I didn’t measure the cauliflower and think I may have added too much. It was not bread like more like cheesy cauli rice. But it was delicious and super easy.
carol cox says
I only have a small crock pot, how thick/thin should this be. Going by the photograph I’ll have to make perhaps two
Deborah says
Trying this for dinner tonight! One quick question… Slow cooker lid on or off? Thanks for all your fantastic recipes!
Carolyn says
Lid on…it keeps the moisture in and helps it cook.

Karly says
Oh, I am so trying this! I’m back on my low carb diet and have been craving garlic bread!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
WHOA WHOA WHOA, hold up. Cauliflower made into bread?! AND IN THE SLOW COOKER?! This is seriously a whole new level of awesome! Pinned!
Tasha @thatssoyummy says
This is such a great idea!
Patty says
Did u line your slow cooker with parchment paper to get the bread out more easily?
Carolyn says
No, if you read the recipe to the end, you will see that you cut it into pieces to get it out. If you line it with parchment, it won’t get as crisp on the edges and will be more soggy in the middle.
Patty says
Ok, thanks for answering my question. I guess that second picture was what made me wonder. I’m super excited to make this recipe today!
Nicole says
I need to start using my slow cooker for more than just pulled pork! This looks great!
Donna Hup says
This sounds amazing!
Mary says
Hello! This looks really good.. 😉
Do you have the nutritional info for it?
Thank you (for this and all your other recipes; love them!)
Carolyn says
Just added the nutritionals!
Alan says
I would hope you would give us a print option that would only use 2 sheets of paper the recipe sounds fantastic
Carolyn says
You can simply cut and paste into a word document.
Donna says
That’s what I do. Copy and paste and then you can edit what you want.
