π€ First, What Exactly Is Cloud Bread?
Cloud bread, sometimes called "oopsie bread," gets its name from its incredibly light and airy texture. It is made from just three main ingredients: eggs, cream cheese, and a stabilizer like cream of tartar. The secret is in the technique of whipping the egg whites.
Because it contains no flour, it is completely gluten-free and has almost zero carbohydrates. It is a fantastic option for anyone on a keto, low-carb, or carnivore diet. It has a mild, savory flavor that is very versatile.
π₯£ How Do You Make This Easy Cloud Bread?
This recipe is simple, but the most important step is to whip the egg whites correctly. This is what creates the "cloud" texture. You must whip them until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
What Ingredients Do You Need?
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons of full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- A pinch of salt (optional)
What Are the Instructions?
1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Yolks: In a medium bowl, beat the three egg yolks with the softened cream cheese and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
3. Whip the Egg Whites: This is the crucial step. In a separate, very clean glass or metal bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the three egg whites with the cream of tartar. Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Beat for several minutes until the whites form stiff, glossy peaks. When you lift the beater, the peak should hold its shape and not flop over.
4. Gently Fold: Carefully and gently, fold the egg yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites. Do this in thirds. Try to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. Do not stir vigorously!
5. Bake: Spoon the fluffy batter onto your prepared baking sheet, creating 6-8 round, bun-sized circles. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
6. Cool: Let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before removing. They will be very delicate when they are hot.
β How Can You Use Your Cloud Bread?
Once your cloud bread is cool, it is ready to use! It is a fantastic bread substitute for a variety of meals. Here are a few ideas:
- For Sandwiches: Use two pieces to make a classic sandwich with your favorite keto-friendly fillings.
- For Mini Pizzas: Top each round with a little tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, then bake until bubbly.
- As a Side: It is a perfect side for dipping into a warm, hearty Turkish lentil soup ("mercimek Γ§orbasΔ±") on a cool autumn day. π
