Tips to make Cloud Bread
- Make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. This will help the egg whites whip up properly.
- If you want a sweeter bread, you can add more sugar to taste.
- Experiment with flavors! You can add a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or even herbs to the mix for fun variations.
Variation
You can mix in different flavors or toppings. Some people like to incorporate spices or cheese to create savory cloud bread. Just be sure that any added ingredients don’t alter the texture too much.
FAQs
Can I use egg substitutes?
Yes, you can try using aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) as an egg white substitute, but the texture may differ slightly.
Why is my cloud bread flat?
If your cloud bread turns out flat, it could be due to not whipping the egg whites enough. Make sure to whip until stiff peaks form.
Can I add food coloring?
Absolutely! You can add food coloring to your egg whites before baking to make colorful cloud bread. Just mix it in gently after whipping the egg whites.
