Cloud Bread Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with a non-stick silicone mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of flavor and texture in the cloud bread.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and add the whites to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer. This separation is crucial for achieving the desired fluffy texture.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg whites and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes. The stiff peaks indicate that the batter is aerated and ready to bake into fluffy bread.
  5. Shape the Batter: Using a spatula, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and shape each portion into a dome. This shape helps maintain height and lightness during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes at 350°F. The baking process sets the structure and dries out the bread.
  7. Cool and Rest: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet until completely dry, which may take up to an hour. This resting period ensures the bread sets fully and achieves the ideal texture.

Notes

  • Make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites to achieve proper stiff peaks.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping.
  • Resting the bread after baking is essential for drying out and firming the texture.
  • For extra sweetness, dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
  • This recipe is gluten-free and can be enjoyed as a low-carb dessert option.
