Are you looking for a low-carb, keto-friendly bread option that packs a protein punch? Look no further than this delightful cloud bread recipe with Greek yogurt. Not only does it help reduce food waste by utilizing both egg whites and yolks, but it also tastes amazing and is highly nutritious. Say goodbye to failed meringue attempts, as we’re about to reveal the secret to making perfect cloud bread!
How to Make Perfect, Fluffy Egg Whites for Cloud Bread
If you’ve struggled with making fluffy meringues in the past, here’s a tip that will change your baking game forever. Use unpasteurized egg whites! Pasteurized whites from a carton may lead to disappointing results, as the glycoprotein avidin present in raw egg whites can interfere with biotin absorption. However, when cooked, avidin becomes harmless. So, opt for shell eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. If you want to make this process easier, consider using an egg white separator, which quickly separates the whites with minimal mess.
Cloud Bread with Yogurt Ingredients
Let’s take a look at the wholesome ingredients you’ll need to make this heavenly cloud bread:
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened Greek yogurt (nonfat)
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¾ teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
It’s important to stick to these specific ingredients to achieve the desired fluffy texture. While you can experiment with different seasonings, be cautious about modifying the main components, as the result may not be as successful.
How to Make Cloud Bread with Greek Yogurt
Now, let’s dive into making this delicious cloud bread with Greek yogurt. Preheat your oven to 300°F (149°C) and separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a big bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip them with an electric hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form, which should take around 4-5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, and Everything Bagel seasoning until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into the whipped egg whites, ensuring an even color without overmixing.
Line a dark cookie sheet with parchment paper and divide the batter into six evenly spaced circles. Using the back of a spoon, spread each blob into a 4-inch circle of uniform thickness. Bake the cloud bread for 30 minutes on a rack positioned one-third down from the top of the oven. Once golden on the outside and firm in the middle, allow them to cool before savoring.
How to Serve Cloud Bread with Greek Yogurt
While this cloud bread is categorized as a snack, it can also be enjoyed as a side dish with meals. However, it may not be suitable as a hot entrée dipper, as it tends to disappear in hot soups. Instead, it works wonders as a vehicle for chilled salads, like turkey or chicken salad. It can even be used as a burger bun, as long as the fillings aren’t piping hot.
How Long Does Cloud Bread Last?
To preserve the freshness of your cloud bread, individually wrap each piece in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator. They should stay good for about a day, but keep in mind that they may become slightly soggy after that.
Can You Freeze Cloud Bread?
Yes, you can freeze cloud bread! Wrap each bread individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. To thaw, either microwave the bread for 20-30 seconds on high or use an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can let the bread thaw in the fridge for a few hours, and it will maintain its texture beautifully.
