EASY CLOUD BREAD
Cloud bread is soft and fluffy - like a cloud! It's a great substitute for 'regular' bread and is low in carbs. Although it's not firm enough to replace bread in a regular sandwich, I like to top one 'slice' with peanut butter and bananas, toast it with jam or with my favorite lunch meat and fillings!

CLOUD BREAD
No-carb paleo cloud rounds. Fresh out of the oven, they are fluffy and light. Storing them overnight in a plastic bag adds some elasticity to them so they become more bread-like.The rounds will rise and fall a bit during the bake, but they don't run and flatten only slightly depending on how long you whipped the whites.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- 2. Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
- 3. In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
- 4. In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
- 5. Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
- 6. Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
- 7. With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
- 8. Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
- 9. Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
- 10. While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
- 11. Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. While preheating, prepare the baking sheet with by greasing the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray or with avocado oil or olive oil. Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white. In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese, and sweetener until smooth. In the second bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, or cream of tartar if you prefer, to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy, form nice peaks, and they hold their peaks. 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. Spoon the mixture into 10 to 12 even rounds onto lightly greased baking sheet, sprinkle with rosemary and put it in the oven. Bake for 19 to 20 minutes on the middle rack until slightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve. Prepare the garlic mixture just before the cloud breads are ready by melting butter in a glass jar in a microwave or in a small pan. Stir in garlic powder and oregano. Spread the mixture over each bread after they are done baking, cloud bread will absorb the garlic mixture nicely, and place the desired amount of shredded mozzarella cheese or half a slice of mozzarella on each one. Cook them on broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts. Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: Fresh egg whites will whip up better and give your cloud bread a lighter texture. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it mixes smoothly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed to high. This will help to incorporate air into the egg whites and create stiff peaks.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can cause the cloud bread to become tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cloud bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Let the cloud bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Cloud bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed as a snack or as part of a meal. It is a great option for those who are following a low-carb or keto diet. With its light and fluffy texture, cloud bread is a healthier alternative to traditional bread. Give this recipe a try and let us know how you like it!
