Instructions
Creating Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is as easy as following these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Use a hand mixer or blender to blend until smooth.
3. Add Cream of Tartar and Salt: Sprinkle in the cream of tartar and salt. Continue mixing until fully combined for a light texture.
4. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will give the cloud bread its airy quality.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese and egg mixture. Be careful to maintain the volume of the egg whites.
6. Add Spices and Herbs: If you’re using garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs, fold them in now for added flavor.
7. Spoon Mixture onto Baking Sheet: Using a spoon or spatula, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into rounds.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cloud bread cool slightly on a wire rack.
Following these steps correctly will ensure you have beautifully fluffy bread that’s bursting with flavor.
