Have you heard of Cloud Bread? Also known as Oopsie Bread, this low-carb alternative to traditional bread is an internet sensation for a reason. It’s airy, cloud-like, and surprisingly satisfying!

Perfect for keto, paleo, or gluten-free diets, Cloud Bread is made with just a few ingredients but packs a lot of versatility. It’s a great option for sandwiches, breakfast toast, or even burger buns. In this post, we’ll go over how to make Cloud Bread, some pro tips for success, and answer some of the most common questions.

What You’ll Need to Make Cloud Bread

Servings: 6-8 slices

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs, separated
• 3 oz cream cheese (or Greek yogurt for a tangier taste)
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional, for stability)
• 1 tbsp sweetener of choice (optional, for a slight sweetness)
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prep Your Oven and Pans
   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate the Eggs
   • Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing them in separate bowls. Be sure there’s no yolk in the whites, as this could prevent the whites from whipping up fully.
3. Whip the Egg Whites
   • Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat with a mixer on high until stiff peaks form. This process will give the bread its “cloud-like” structure.
4. Prepare the Yolks
   • In the separate bowl with yolks, add the cream cheese (or Greek yogurt), sweetener (if using), and salt. Mix until smooth.
5. Fold the Mixtures Together
   • Gently fold the yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula and fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites too much.
6. Form and Bake
   • Scoop the mixture onto the lined baking sheet in small circles, shaping each one into a round. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve
   • Allow the Cloud Bread to cool completely on a rack before using it as a sandwich, toast, or snack. Enjoy its soft, fluffy texture!

Tips for Making Perfect Cloud Bread

• Use Fresh Eggs: Fresher eggs help the whites reach stiff peaks, which is essential for the bread’s structure.
• Cream of Tartar: Adding cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites. If you don’t have it, you can skip it, but the bread may be slightly less fluffy.
• Go Savory or Sweet: Customize your Cloud Bread by adding a pinch of garlic powder, herbs, or cinnamon and vanilla extract, depending on your taste.
• Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven for best results.

Common Questions About Cloud Bread

1. What does Cloud Bread taste like?
Cloud Bread has a mild, eggy flavor with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. If you add a sweetener or seasonings, you can easily adjust the flavor to suit your preference.

2. Can I make Cloud Bread without cream cheese?
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor, or even use cottage cheese. Just ensure the alternative you choose is smooth and not watery to maintain the right consistency.

3. Why didn’t my Cloud Bread turn out fluffy?
The most common cause for dense Cloud Bread is under-whipping the egg whites. Make sure they reach stiff peaks for the best texture. Also, be gentle when folding in the yolk mixture to avoid deflating the whipped whites.

4. Can I freeze Cloud Bread?
Absolutely! Once the bread has completely cooled, you can freeze it in a single layer. Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. To reheat, let it thaw at room temperature and then warm it in the toaster oven.

5. Is Cloud Bread keto-friendly?
Yes! With minimal carbs and no flour, Cloud Bread is a fantastic option for those following a ketogenic or low-carb diet. It’s also gluten-free and grain-free.

6. Can I add other ingredients?
Yes, you can experiment by adding seeds like chia or sesame on top before baking. Just keep in mind that any additions may slightly affect the texture.
