What is Cloud Bread and How to Make it

Cloudย Bread.ย Named for its fluffy, softness,ย Cloudย Breadย is aย unique baked creation with elements of pita, biscuits, andย rolls, but without flour, yeast, or traditional dough ingredients. Cloud breadย is oftenย a stapleย by those on Keto friendly diets who want to keep their carbohydrate intake as low as possible. However, this baked good is also a wonderful alternative for those who are avoiding gluten.ย Three key ingredients are all you needย to get started!ย 

Ingredients:ย 

  • 3 eggs โ€“ separatedย 
  • 3 tablespoons ofย softened cream cheeseย ย 
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartarย 

If you are a baker, you can already see where this recipe is going by using cream of tartar. The combination of egg whites and cream of tartar is exactly what is used to make the fluffy peaks in meringue for lemon meringue pieย as well as for souffles. It helps keep the egg whites stable and firm.ย ย 

Directions:ย 

  1. Preheat oven to 300ยฐF.ย 
  2. Separate the eggs into two bowls.ย 
  3. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites andย beat untilย stiff peaksย form.ย 
  4. In the bowl with the yolks, add the cream cheese and mixย well.ย 
  5. Foldย (use a spatula to gentlyย liftย the mixture up from the bottom of the bowl then cross over the top rather than stirring)ย half of the egg whites into the yolks until just combined. Add the remaining eggย white mixtureย and fold until incorporated.ย 
  6. Spoonย oneย heaping tablespoonย at a timeย to create a ยฝโ€ thick circleย onto a baking sheetย lined with parchment paper. The paper will help keep the bottoms of theย bread from becoming too brown or sticking to theย sheet.ย 
  7. Bake for 30 minutesย or until golden.ย 

Cloud Bread serving ideas:ย 

Slice in half for a traditional sandwich, burger or even a grilled cheese sandwich.ย 

Create mini-pizzas withย a Cloud Bread crust.ย 

Try it as a sweet treat, topped with slicedย strawberries and whipped cream.ย 

Top with honeyย and enjoy.ย 

Cloud Bread add-inย options:ย 

Consider addingย a pinch of individualย herbsย or seasoningsย for more flavorย to the tops of the circles right before bakingย such as:ย 

  • Chopped chivesย 
  • Cinnamonย 
  • Grated garlicย 
  • Everything bagel seasoningย 
  • Oreganoย 
  • Parmesan cheeseย 
  • Rosemaryย 
  • Sesame seedsย 

Cloud Bread is not exclusive toย Keto diet followersย and canย easilyย be tweaked forย extra flavor.ย Try baking some up this weekendย โ€“ either the simple 3 ingredient recipe or shake things up with some fresh herbs and spices. Tell us about your favorite Cloud Bread creations.ย
