How to Make Cloud Bread:

Quick Overview

This Cloud Bread recipe is astonishingly easy, delightfully delicious, and deeply satisfying. It’s a simple process of whipping egg whites into stiff peaks, gently folding in a creamy yolk mixture, and baking into golden, fluffy rounds. The standout element is its miraculous texture—crisp on the outside, soft and bread-like inside. From start to finish, you’re looking at just about 25 minutes of active time.

Key Ingredients for Cloud Bread

• 3 large eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt (or a pinch)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep and Preheat: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. It’s crucial your bowl and beaters are completely clean, dry, and grease-free for the egg whites to whip properly.
2. Whip the Whites: In a large, clean bowl, place your egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This is the foundation of your “cloud,” so whip until the peaks stand straight up when you lift the beater. Set aside.
3. Mix the Yolks: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and salt. Mix with the same beaters (no need to wash!) until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
4. Fold Gently: Now, using a flexible spatula, add about one-third of the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture. Gently fold to lighten it. Then, carefully pour this lightened mixture back into the bowl with the remaining egg whites. Fold gently, using a sweeping motion, until just combined and no large white streaks remain. Be gentle to keep as much air in the mixture as possible.
5. Shape and Bake: Scoop the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, forming 6 even mounds. Use the back of a spoon to gently smooth them into round, bun-like shapes about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake to Perfection: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are a beautiful golden brown and they feel firm to the touch.
7. Cool Completely: This is the most important step! Let the Cloud Bread rounds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool, developing their perfect texture.

What to Serve Cloud Bread With:

Your freshly baked Cloud Bread is a versatile star! Use it as a bun for a juicy burger or a hearty breakfast sandwich with egg and avocado. For a light lunch, top with chicken salad, smoked salmon and cream cheese, or simply a slice of tomato and fresh basil. It also makes a fantastic base for mini pizzas—just add a little sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings and broil briefly. For a sweet treat, try it with a dollop of whipped cream and berries.

Top Tips for Perfecting Cloud Bread:

• Egg Temperature: For best volume, use eggs that are at room temperature.
• No Overmixing: When folding, less is more. Overmixing will deflate your precious air bubbles.
• Patience is Key: Do not skip the complete cooling step! If you try to remove them while warm, they may collapse or feel soggy.
• Cream Cheese Substitute: For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the cream cheese with an equal amount of plain, thick dairy-free yogurt (strained if possible).
• Add Flavor: Feel free to add a teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, or a sweetener like a pinch of stevia to the yolk mixture for different flavor profiles.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

To store, place completely cooled Cloud Bread in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They will keep fresh at room temperature for 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The texture is best when eaten fresh or lightly toasted. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until warm and the exterior crisps up slightly. Unfortunately, Cloud Bread does not freeze well, as the texture becomes very chewy and changes significantly upon thawing. It’s best enjoyed within a few days of baking for optimal taste and texture.
