Cloud Bread is a revolutionary approach to homemade baking, combining the lightness of a soufflé with the protein-rich benefits of cottage cheese. This airy creation offers a creative alternative to traditional bread, with a unique texture that falls between a meringue and brioche.

This cloud bread has become a staple in our kitchen, especially after discovering its perfect compatibility with various dietary needs. Even skeptical family members have been won over by its unique qualities.

Essential Ingredients Guide

  • Eggs: Room temperature eggs for optimal volume
  • Cottage cheese: Smooth, low-fat variety for best texture
  • Cream of tartar: For stable egg whites (fresh lemon juice works too)
  • Salt: Fine grain for even distribution
  • Starch: For structure and stability

Step-by-Step Preparation

1.
Bring eggs to room temperature. Separate whites and yolks carefully, ensuring no yolk contamination.
2.
Beat egg whites starting at medium speed. Add cream of tartar and increase speed until stiff peaks form.
3.
Blend cottage cheese and egg yolks until completely smooth, removing all lumps.
4.
Fold egg whites into the base mixture in three portions, maintaining maximum volume.
5.
Shape into uniform circles using a spoon or piping bag.
6.
Bake at gentle heat, avoiding opening the oven for the first 20 minutes.

The molecular structure of cloud bread relies on the precise interaction between egg proteins and moisture from the cottage cheese.

After extensive testing, the herb-infused variation remains our family favorite, particularly alongside winter soups.

Recipe Tips

It helps stabilize the egg whites, but a bit of lemon juice works as a substitute.
→ How do I make the bread evenly shaped?
Using a baking ring or tracing circles on parchment can help you shape them perfectly.
→ What should I serve with cloud bread?
It tastes amazing with scrambled eggs, mashed avocado, or even sweet toppings like honey.

Makes: 4 Serves (6-8 pieces of cloud bread)

Diet Type: Low Carb, Veggie, No Gluten

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 Three large eggs, yolks and whites separated
02 Half a cup of smooth blended cottage cheese
03 One-fourth teaspoon cream of tartar
04 Half a teaspoon of salt

→ Optional Ingredients

05 One teaspoon of honey or a pinch of sweetener (optional, for added sweetness)
06 One tablespoon of arrowroot powder or cornstarch (optional, for extra structure)

Let's Cook

Step 01

Heat up your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Split up your eggs carefully into two different bowls—yolks in one, whites in the other.

Step 02

Toss the cream of tartar into the egg whites. Use an electric mixer on high speed to whip them until you see stiff peaks.

Step 03

Take the bowl with the yolks and stir in the smooth cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, the optional cornstarch (if you're using it), and honey or sweetener (if you're adding that). Stir it all together until it's totally smooth.

Step 04

Add the whipped whites into the yolk mixture a little at a time, in three batches. Use a spatula to gently fold it in each time, keeping as much air in the mix as possible for airy bread.

Step 05

Scoop the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, making 6-8 smaller mounds or larger shapes as you prefer. Flatten them slightly with the back of your spoon so they bake evenly.

Step 06

Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let your cloud bread cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until it looks golden and has set.

Step 07

Take the cloud bread out and let it cool down straight on the baking sheet before you dig in.

Tips

  1. Store it in the fridge for up to two days
  2. Pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up
