How To Make Cloud Bread
Making Cloud Bread Is A Delicate Process
Now, even-though making cloud bread is easy, it is a delicate process. You can easily screw cloud bread up, and I certainly have in the past. However, if you follow my tips in today's cloud bread recipe, you're guaranteed to have delicious results!
The MAJOR KEY is not over-mixing the egg yolks and egg whites when you combine them.
Cloud bread is actually an egg based bread, and the recipe calls for whipping egg whites up with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. The whipping process creates a thick airy consistency to the egg whites, and maintaining this consistency throughout the recipe is the key to a successful batch!
My Cloud Bread Grocery List
- First and foremost, make sure you have a hand mixer like this one, because you'll need it to whip the egg whites.
- Cream of tartar is an essential component to getting stiff peaks to form with your egg whites, so you'll definitely need some of that.
- You'll also need a large bowl like this one to mix all of your ingredients in.
- This cloud bread recipe makes 10 pieces, so make sure you have atleast 2 baking sheets because you'll need to bake both sheets at the same time.
- By the way, make sure you have parchment paper, and cover it in baking spray, so the cloud bread doesn't stick.

I tried this and I love it! I'm going to try it without the garlic and Italian seasoning next time just to see what it tastes like.
Turned out great! Will use different seasonings for the next batch. Thanks so much!
