    Why This Recipe Works

    If you are following a low carb or keto diet, one of the things you miss dearly is bread. Like when you want a cheese sandwich or may be eating a burger.

    This cloud bread recipe works perfectly in any situation and with little imagination, you can go wild with it. A sandwich bread for burgers, crisp them up in a toaster for a PB and J,  make pizza,  Arabic pizza, garlic bread, sloppy Joes...etc.

    Plus it is very easy to make with no kind of flour at all not even low carb flour like almond or coconut flour. We are going to flavor them a bit with some spices but feel free to add your own touch.

    Recipe Ingredients

    Cloud bread ingredients on a white marble table.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Cream of tartar is optional to stabilize the egg whites and make it easy for us to form the batter into buns.
    • Parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic salt are my add ons to flavor the rolls. You can use just salt.
    • Softened cream cheese, you can soften it in the microwave. You can also use sour cream, cottage cheese or use Mascarpone cheese for buttery rolls.

    Recipe Instructions

    Beating egg whites in a glass bowl.
    • Place egg whites on a clean bowl, sprinkle cream of tartar on. Whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peak forms.
    Egg yolks with spices and cheese in a bowl.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, cream cheese, spices and Parmesan cheese if using.
    Mixing egg white mixture with egg yolks.
    • Carefully and gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg white. Do not over mix as we do not want the white mixture to deflate.
    Scooping oopsie rolls on a baking sheets.
    • Scoop on a baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper. Gently level the top with a butter knife or a spatula to flatten just slightly. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.

    Recipe Expert Tips

    • Start with room temperature eggs and cheese.
    • Make sure that your mixer's bowl and whisks are very clean and do not have any fat residues.
    • Using cream of tartar is highly recommended as it helps to stabilize the shape.
    • In my opinion the hardest part in this recipe, especially if you are new to the kitchen is reaching the stiff peak stage when beating the egg whites. Here is a video that will clear any confusion you have with the nice trick of just adding one more egg white if things went wrong and you've over beaten your egg whites.
    • Add all the spices to the egg yolk mixture and not to the egg whites we do not want to deflate the egg whites.
    • These rolls have some eggy taste which many do not mind but if this irritates you here is what you can do. Wait for it to cool down then let it set overnight on your counter in an open bag. This pretty much helps reduce the eggy flavor in them rather than eating them straight after baking.

    Recipe FAQs

    What does cloud bread taste like?

    Cloud bread does not taste like wheat bread at all, it is very fluffy and airy. It is of a soufflé-like or a chewy meringue texture especially when it is fresh from the oven. I felt that they are better and less eggy a couple of hours later it will set to a more bread like texture.

    Is cloud bread Keto friendly?

    Although this cloud bread recipe includes cream cheese, it is indeed Keto friendly recipe. Cream cheese is one of the low sugar dairy products out there, so no worries.

    Why do I need cream of tartar in this recipe?

    Cream of tartar is used to stabilize the stiff peak we need. Some people use vinegar though, but if you cannot find it then feel free to skip it altogether. You'll just take longer to reach the stiff peak state and you might need to work quickly.

    How long does cloud bread last?

    They keep up well for a week in the refrigerator and up to 3 days on the counter. You can also freeze cloud bread individually, thaw and reheat in the oven or toaster (carefully) before using. If you stack the rolls in one bag, you better use wax paper or parchment paper to separate the rolls so they will not stick.

    Recipe Variations

    Oopsie rolls stacked in a white tray with cheese slices.

    This is a fun recipe to play with, there are loads of other variation for other health issues so let me get your creative juices running here:

    • Shake things up and use bold spices, think cumin, Chipotle chili, turmeric, smoked paprika…etc. In this recipe I shaped mine into rolls. You can also bake the it in a loaf pan or muffin tins.
    • To make a dessert: add cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg. Sprinkle the top with crushed nuts or sesame seeds.Use vanilla yogurt instead of cream cheese and top it with fresh fruits.
    • If you are watching your fate intake, To reduce fat in the recipe go for Neufchâtel instead of full fat cream cheese, it has 1/3 less fat. You can also use Greek yogurt and may be go for a low fat one.
    • For a diary free rolls there are varieties of dairy-free cream cheese in stores these days, but if you cannot find them here are some great alternatives. You can use thick cream from a can of coconut milk, I've seen some recipes using mayonnaise as well.

      Made this recipe into mini pizza. I added cheddar cheese and used mini pepperoni and it made a delicious low carb dinner for us.
