Keto Cloud Bread Recipe
Cloud bread has been a popular recipe for years, and it’s a fantastic option when you’re craving something bready but want to avoid traditional high carb bread. This low-carb, gluten-free alternative is light, fluffy, and incredibly versatile. Whether you use it as a sandwich bun, toast, or a base for creative toppings, cloud bread is a delightful addition to any meal. In this recipe, we’ll guide you through the simple steps to create eight delectable cloud bread rounds.
Ingredients (Makes 8 Cloud Bread Rounds)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 50g cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. This will prevent the cloud bread from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Separate the eggs carefully, placing the egg whites in a bowl and the yolks in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer or a hand whisk until they reach a foamy consistency. Add the cream of tartar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the cottage cheese and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk and cheese mixture, ensuring not to overmix. The goal is to maintain as much of the airiness as possible.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking trays, forming four circles on each tray. Leave some space between the rounds as they will slightly expand while baking.
- Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake the cloud bread for approximately 30 minutes, or until they turn a pale golden color. The bread should feel firm and spring back when gently pressed.
- Once baked, remove the trays from the oven and transfer the cloud bread rounds to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before handling to maintain their shape.
Now your fluffy cloud bread is ready to enjoy!
