FAQs

What makes cloud bread fluffy?

Beating the egg whites to stiff peaks helps create the airy, cloud-like texture.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

Yes, but the texture may be slightly different. Greek yogurt will make it denser.

How do I prevent my cloud bread from deflating?

Fold the egg whites in gently and avoid overmixing to keep the air bubbles intact.

Can I use a hand whisk instead of an electric mixer?

Yes, but it will take longer to achieve stiff peaks with a hand whisk.

Is this bread keto-friendly?

Yes! It’s low in carbs and high in protein, making it great for keto diets.

Can I toast cloud bread?

Yes! Toast it lightly in a toaster or air fryer for a crispier texture.

Does cloud bread taste like regular bread?

No, it’s more eggy and fluffy rather than chewy like traditional bread.

What can I use cloud bread for?

It’s great for sandwiches, breakfast toast, or as a low-carb burger bun.

Can I add sweetener to make it taste like dessert?

Yes! A bit of honey, stevia, or maple syrup can sweeten it up.

Why did my cloud bread turn out flat?

It may be due to under-whipped egg whites or overmixing the batter.
