From Lauren: This recipe is from a fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Jean Choi, who regularly contributes her creative recipes here.
When the warmer weather hits, I love incorporating summer fruits into my cooking. Recently, I’ve been seeing stone fruits everywhere at the farmers market so I’ve been enjoying a ton of juicy peaches and nectarines as a snack and in my dishes.
And this Peach and Bacon Paleo Flatbread? It might be my favorite recipe yet in which I incorporate fruit into my savory cooking. The combination of the salty bacon, the sweet peach, and the creamy cauliflower cashew cheese brings on such a wonderful combination of flavors and textures, and the cassava flour-based crust is so sturdy and crispy that you’ll forget that it’s grain- and gluten-free!
About the ingredients in the Peach and Bacon Paleo Flatbread
Otto’s cassava flour – Cassava flour is very similar to wheat flour but is grain free. Do not substitute with any other flour for this recipe. You can find it at health food stores, or it’s available here.
Tapioca starch – Tapioca starch is the same as tapioca flour. You can substitute with arrowroot starch if you don’t have this on hand.
Cashews – Soaked cashews make a great creamy sauce once blended and it’s a great substitute for cheese when you add spices and flavors to it. Use raw cashews for this recipe.
Riced cauliflower – This is just cauliflower grated to the size of rice. It adds an extra creaminess and lightness to the “cheese” sauce when blended with cashews.
Bacon – I highly recommend nitrate-free, pasture-raised bacon. You can also use thin-cut for this recipe.

- ¼ cup tapioca starch, available here
