Light and Fluffy Cloud Bread Recipe!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Fresh out of the oven, cloud bread is fluffy and light. Storing it overnight in a plastic bag adds some elasticity to them so they become more bread-like. The rounds will rise and fall a bit during the bake, but they don't run, and flatten only slightly depending on how long you whipped the whites.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, separated into two separate medium bowls
• ¼ tsp. cream of tartar
• 2 oz. cream cheese, very soft
• 1 Tbsp. white sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. In two medium bowls, separate the yolks from the
   whites of 3 large eggs. Both the yolks and the whites will be used in this
   recipe.    
3. Add cream of tartar to egg whites and use a hand
   mixer to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. In the other bowl with the egg yolks, combine
   egg yolks, cream cheese, and white sugar with the hand mixer, until smooth.
5. Gently fold egg whites into the egg yolk mixture
   until well combined.
6. With an ice cream scoop or a ¼-cup measuring cup,
   scoop the mixture into individual servings onto a parchment paper lined baking
   sheet.
7. Bake at 350° F. for approximately 30 minutes, or
   until golden brown.
8. Remove from oven and transfer bread to a
   paper-towel-lined plate. Paper towels are used to absorb the liquid from the
   steam when bread is still hot.

Light and Fluffy Cloud Bread Recipe!

In spite of the fact that cloud bread is generally regarded as being keto-friendly, I will have to say, I beg to differ on this point, at least when it comes to the recipe I am sharing today.

It is worth mentioning that because this recipe contains refined sugar as one of its main ingredients, many Keto dieters would argue that it definitely is not Keto-friendly, and I have to admit that I strongly agree with their argument.

What Is Cloud Bread?

Cloud bread is characterized by the softness of the bread and the lightness of a cloud, just like the cloud itself is characterized by the softness of the white dough, which resembles the lightness of a cloud.

It has an airy texture to it, which gives it a light feel. As far as the taste goes, it doesn’t have much flavor at all (probably just a hint of egg flavor). You can easily use it as a sandwich bread because it does not have a lot of flavor by itself, which will make it easy to use as a sandwich bread.

Is Cloud Bread Good?

In terms of cloud bread, I have to admit that I am pretty impressed with it.

My only wish is to know who invented it, so that I can give them some credit and perhaps even make a small bow of respect to them as well. Apparently, it originated around the time of Atkins, but I am not certain whether or not that is true.

Even though this particular recipe calls for cream of tartar, it is not absolutely necessary for cloud bread to contain cream of tartar and it can still be made without cream of tartar if you choose.

This recipe uses cream of tartar primarily to increase the speed with which the egg whites are beaten into stiff peaks, although stiff peaks can be achieved without the cream of tartar if the egg whites are beaten quickly enough to form stiff peaks…it will just take longer.
