Imagine CARB-LESS bread 🍞! Honestly, when I first heard about bread made from egg whites and Greek yogurt, my initial reaction was, “Immediately no.” But as a certified carb fiend, I rely on finding low-carb alternatives for my favorite starchy foods that help me feel like life is still worth living 🥲. On a serious note, this Cloud Bread will never replace the real deal, but if you’re following a keto diet or looking for a carb-free alternative, it’s actually a pretty great option.

Why You’ll Love My Cloud Bread Recipe

Biting into this cloud bread is what I envision biting into an actual cloud ☁️ would feel like – light, fluffy, airy , with a soft, sponge-like consistency. Now, of course, it doesn’t have that chewiness and density of regular bread 🥖, but the beauty of Cloud Bread is that it’s like a blank canvas. The taste is almost neutral , so it’s perfect for soaking up flavors from whatever toppings or spreads you decide to put on it!

How to Prepare

♨️ Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) .

🥚 In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a bowl and a hand mixer), add the water and egg white powder . Whisk on medium speed until stiff peaks form.

🥣 Then, add in the yogurt and gently fold it into the fluffy egg whites.

☁️ Pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan and bake for 35 minutes or until the top turns golden.

🍞 Enjoy with butter, sandwich toppings, or however you prefer!

Nonna’s Tip 🍞

Remember to fold in the yogurt as opposed to mixing it. This allows the bread to achieve its fullest volume and creates that light, airy texture!

Cloud Bread Recipe Variations and Substitutions

I have NOT 🙅‍♀️personally tried any of the alternatives below, so you will have to experiment.

  1. Add garlic powder, onion powder , or your favorite dried herbs 🌿 (like rosemary, thyme, or oregano) to the batter to boost flavor.
  2. Mix in some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese for a cheesy kick. It adds flavor and a bit more structure to the bread.
  3. For a sweeter version, add a teaspoon of cinnamon and stevia or another sugar-free sweetener.
  4. Add a few drops of vanilla, almond, or lemon 🍋 extract for a subtly flavored cloud bread that’s perfect for sweet toppings.
  5. Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt to make the bread completely dairy-free. Please note that I have not personally tried this, and it may alter the taste and texture of the bread.

Common Questions

Yes, you can, but I haven’t personally tried this method, so you’ll need to experiment. Make sure the egg whites reach room temperature before whipping them.

Yes! Cloud bread can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it and reheat it when needed.

Cloud bread is delicate, so it doesn’t toast like traditional bread. However, you can lightly warm it in a toaster oven or skillet to get a little crisp on the outside without burning it.

Absolutely! Cloud bread is typically zero-carb or very low-carb, making it a popular choice for keto diets. Just make sure the ingredients you add (like cheese or toppings) are keto-friendly as well.

Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with cream cheese, sour cream, or a dairy-free yogurt alternative to suit your dietary needs. Keep in mind that I have not personally tried any of these substitutions, and they may alter the taste and texture of the Cloud Bread.
