Cloud Bread Recipe

Eggs: The base of the recipe, providing structure and fluffiness.

Cream cheese: Adds a creamy texture and richness to the bread.

Cream of tartar: Stabilizes the egg whites, helping them form stiff peaks.

Sugar: Optional, adds a touch of sweetness to the bread.

When folding the egg whites into the yolk mixture, use a gentle motion to avoid deflating the whipped egg whites. This ensures that your cloud bread remains light and airy.

• Eggs - Substitute with flax eggs: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. This works well as a binding agent in recipes.

• Cream cheese - Substitute with Greek yogurt: Use the same amount of Greek yogurt to maintain the creamy texture while adding a bit of tanginess and reducing fat content.

• Cream of tartar - Substitute with lemon juice: Use an equal amount of lemon juice to stabilize the egg whites and achieve similar results.

• Sugar - Substitute with honey: Use the same amount of honey to add sweetness while keeping the recipe natural and unrefined.

• Allow the cloud bread to cool completely on a wire rack before storing. This prevents condensation from forming, which can make the bread soggy.
• Store the cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you live in a humid climate, consider refrigerating to maintain its texture.
• For longer storage, place the cloud bread in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. This prevents the pieces from sticking together.
• Once frozen, transfer the cloud bread to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper. This keeps them fresh for up to 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the frozen cloud bread for 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a toaster oven for a quicker option.
• Avoid microwaving the cloud bread as it can become rubbery. Instead, opt for gentle reheating methods to maintain its light and airy texture.

• Oven Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the leftover cloud bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Warm the cloud bread for about 5-7 minutes until it is heated through and slightly crisp on the outside.

• Toaster Oven Method:

  1. Set your toaster oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the cloud bread directly on the toaster oven rack or on a small baking tray.
  3. Heat for 3-5 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.

• Microwave Method:

  1. Place the cloud bread on a microwave-safe plate.
  2. Cover with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Check and add more time if needed, but be cautious not to overheat as it can become rubbery.

• Stovetop Method:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Place the cloud bread in the skillet and cover with a lid.
  3. Warm each side for about 1-2 minutes until heated through, flipping halfway.

• Air Fryer Method:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place the cloud bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Heat for 3-4 minutes until warm and slightly crispy.

• Oven: Preheat to 300°F (150°C) to bake the cloud bread until golden brown.

• Baking sheet: Line with parchment paper to prevent the cloud bread from sticking.

• Parchment paper: Used to line the baking sheet for easy removal of the cloud bread.

• Mixing bowl: One for beating egg whites and another for mixing egg yolks, cream cheese, and sugar.

• Electric mixer: Essential for beating egg whites and cream of tartar to stiff peaks.

• Spatula: Useful for gently folding the egg whites into the yolk mixture.

• Tablespoon: Measure the cream cheese and optional sugar accurately.

• Teaspoon: Measure the cream of tartar precisely.

• Spoon: For spooning the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming rounds.

Preheat while prepping: Save time by preheating the oven while you separate the eggs and prepare the mixtures.

Use a stand mixer: A stand mixer can beat the egg whites to stiff peaks faster than a hand whisk.

Room temperature ingredients: Ensure cream cheese is softened and eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.

Batch baking: If you have multiple baking sheets, prepare them all at once and bake in batches to save time.

Quick clean-up: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
