Description

Like feta pasta and Dalgona coffee, cloud bread made its way into our lives by way of TikTok. Despite its name, the super fluffy "bread" is not bread at all, but a baked meringue that gets its soft, cloud-like texture from whipped egg whites.

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or line with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
3. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, or about 5 minutes. When you dip a beater from the mixer into the eggs and pull it out, a peak should form and stay standing up. Don't over-beat the eggs or they will become crumbly.
4. Carefully add about 1/3 of the egg whites to the yolks mixture. Gently fold the two mixtures together, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Repeat two more times with the remaining egg whites, folding in just until mixed.
5. Scoop out into 6 to 9 separate disks (depending on what size you want) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving them at least 2 to 3 inches apart.
6. Bake 25 to 35 minutes depending on the size of your clouds, or until golden brown. Start checking the breads at the 25 minute mark since they can overcook easily.
7. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before placing on a cooling rack. Store leftover cloud breads in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze.
