Make the viral TikTok cloud bread using only three simple ingredients. This recipe produces a light, airy, and pillowy bread substitute perfect for low-carb and gluten-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the whites in a clean, grease-free mixing bowl.
  3. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is key for the fluffy texture.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the egg yolks with the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Gently fold the yolk and cream cheese mixture into the stiff egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the air you whipped into the whites.
  6. Spoon six equal mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds, like small buns.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool completely on the baking sheet before handling.

Notes

  • For a savory option, add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese to the yolk mixture.
  • This bread is best eaten the day it is made for the lightest texture.
  • Do not substitute the cream of tartar; it stabilizes the egg whites for maximum lift.
