Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add Seasonings and Leavening Agents: Stir in the cream of tartar, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute all the flavors and leavening agents throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Almond Flour: Gradually add almond flour while continuously mixing. Continue until the batter becomes smooth and no lumps remain, ensuring a consistent texture.
- Shape the Bread: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small, round mounds spaced evenly.
- Flatten the Mounds: Gently press down each mound with the back of a spoon to flatten into discs of even thickness and size for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cloud bread turns golden brown on top and feels firm when lightly touched.
- Cool on Baking Sheet: Remove from the oven and allow the cloud bread to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to set.
- Transfer to Rack: Move the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing. This helps maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
- Storage: Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Notes
- The cream of tartar helps stabilize the eggs and contributes to the fluffy texture.
- Almond flour keeps this bread gluten-free and low-carb.
- Ensure the cloud bread is completely cool before storing to maintain the best texture.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a week if stored properly.
- Feel free to customize seasonings to your taste; herbs like rosemary or thyme could be delightful additions.
