Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cottage cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 300°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal bread preparation.
- Whip egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer, creating sturdy, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, and salt in a separate mixing bowl, blending until the mixture reaches a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, using a folding technique to maintain maximum airiness and volume.
- Carefully distribute the cloud bread batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating uniform circular shapes with gentle, even spacing.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until the bread develops a beautiful golden-brown exterior and feels set to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cloud bread to cool completely, which helps stabilize its delicate texture and enhances its ethereal structure.
Notes
- Stabilize egg whites by adding cream of tartar, ensuring a cloud-like texture with maximum volume and stability.
- Try different seasonings like herbs, garlic powder, or nutritional yeast to create savory variations that enhance the basic recipe.
- Achieve optimal lightness by folding egg whites gently, using a bottom-to-top motion to preserve air bubbles and maintain a delicate, fluffy structure.
- Store cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating briefly to restore original softness and prevent moisture buildup.
