The Internet Is Going Mad Over This Heavenly Carb and Gluten-Free “Cloud Bread”

27 August, 2018 Sophie Chung

What? A heavenly bread that is carb and gluten free? It seems a bit too good to be true. All you need is four ingredients: eggs, cream cheese, baking powder or cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of Honey or some natural sweetener, salt, garlic powder, rosemary. According to She Knows, “Cloud Bread” pins and likes have spiked by 73% within the last year. They’re high in protein and work great as soft, airy, fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth buns.

Here’s a recipe from The Big Apple Mama for you to try!

Cloud Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

3 eggs, separated
3 Tablespoons cream cheese
¼ teaspoon baking powder (or cream of tartar)

Optional: 1 Tablespoon Honey or some natural sweetener, salt, garlic powder, rosemary

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white.
In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese and honey until smooth.
In the second bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder (or cream of tartar if you prefer, I just didn’t like the taste of cream of tartar) to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy, form a nice peaks and hold their peaks. Beat the egg whites until like a whipped cream consistency. It should look something like this:

Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and mix carefully, you don’t want to break the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
Do this as quickly as possible or the mixture may start melting – Spoon the mixture into 10-12 even rounds on the baking sheet, sprinkle with rosemary or your favorite spices and put it in the oven.
Bake for 17-20 minutes on the middle rack. Then broil for 1 minute and watch it until they become nice and golden brown. At this point make sure you watch them so they don’t burn.
Remove from the oven and let cool and enjoy!

Storage

They can be stored in the container on your counter-top for 3 days. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for 7 days and they can also be stored in the freezer. If you decide to toast them, set the timer for 1 minute or the sides may burn.
