Cloud Bread Ingredients
- 3 Eggs – whites and yolks separated
- 1/3 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 1 tbsp Oat fibre (not oats) or psyllium husk
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt or Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp Olive oil or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare tray: Preheat your oven to 150℃ (300℉). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly oil the parchment paper with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Separate eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them into two large bowls.
- Whisk egg whites: Using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites in one bowl until stiff peaks form, meaning the whites hold firm and do not collapse when you lift the whisk.
- Mix yolks with mascarpone and salt: In the other bowl, beat the egg yolks together with mascarpone cheese and sea salt. Start on a slow speed to avoid splashing the mixture around.
- Add oat fibre: Add the oat fibre (or psyllium husk) to the yolk mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated. Note that oat fibre is different from oats and crucial for the texture.
- Fold egg whites into yolk mixture: Gently fold half of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula, mixing with a folding motion to keep the mixture light and airy. Then fold in the remaining egg whites similarly until the mixture is firm and foamy. Avoid whisking as it will deflate the airiness.
- Shape and bake: Spread the folded mixture evenly on the prepared parchment paper, forming a flat layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cloud bread turns golden brown on top.
- Cool and cut: Once baked and cool enough to handle, carefully flip the tray upside down and peel off the parchment paper gently. Cut the cloud bread into six equal squares ready to use as sandwich bread or buns.
Notes
- Make sure to use oat fibre, which is different from oat flour or oats, for the best texture and low-carb content.
- Whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks is critical for achieving a fluffy bread texture.
- Fold egg whites gently to maintain airiness; do not whisk.
- You can substitute mascarpone with cream cheese, but the texture may slightly change.
- Use olive oil spray as a convenient alternative to oiling parchment paper.
- Allow the bread to cool completely for easier handling and cleaner cuts.
