Ingredients You’ll Need

• ½ cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
• 3 large eggs (separated)
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
• 1 tbsp honey (optional, for a slightly sweet flavor)

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls (two for egg whites and yolks)
• Electric mixer or stand mixer
• Silicone spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2: Separate the Eggs

• Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing the whites into one bowl and the yolks into another.

Step 3: Mix the Mascarpone Mixture

• In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mascarpone cheese, olive oil (or melted butter), and honey (if using).
• Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the baking powder and salt and mix again until fully combined.

Step 4: Beat the Egg Whites

• In the separate bowl with the egg whites, add the cream of tartar and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Combine the Mixtures

• Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a silicone spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much, as they are what give the bread its light, airy texture. Fold until just combined.

Step 6: Shape the Bread

• Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6-8 mounds (depending on your desired size). Use the back of a spoon to smooth the tops of the mounds to form round, flat “buns.”

Step 7: Bake

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

• Remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, it’s ready to serve! Enjoy it as a sandwich bread or snack with your favorite toppings.

Tips for Perfect Mascarpone Cloud Bread

• Use Room Temperature Mascarpone: This helps the mascarpone blend smoothly into the batter for a creamier texture.
• Don’t Overmix: When folding the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, do it gently to maintain the airy texture.
• Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cloud bread, you can increase the honey to 2 tablespoons or add a little sweetener of your choice.
• Store Properly: Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Serving Suggestions

• As Sandwich Bread: Use cloud bread to make a keto-friendly sandwich. It pairs perfectly with deli meats, cheese, and veggies.
• Topped with Butter: For a simple and delicious treat, spread a little butter on warm cloud bread.
• With Cream Cheese & Berries: Top with cream cheese and fresh berries for a sweet, low-carb snack.
• As a Side for Soup: Serve cloud bread alongside your favorite soup or stew for a soft, satisfying bite.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:

• Store the cooled cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge for up to a week.

Freezing:

• Cloud bread freezes well! Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply toast them for a few minutes or microwave them.

Reheating:

• To reheat, toast the cloud bread in a toaster or on a grill pan for a crispy exterior. Alternatively, you can microwave it for about 20 seconds if you prefer a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use another type of cheese?
While mascarpone gives this cloud bread its signature creamy flavor, you can substitute with cream cheese if needed. Just make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy mixing.

2. Is cloud bread gluten-free?
Yes! Cloud bread is naturally gluten-free because it’s made without any flour.

3. Can I use a different sweetener?
If you prefer to avoid honey, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener. Adjust the amount according to the sweetness of your choice.

4. How can I make cloud bread more savory?
To make the cloud bread savory, you can omit the honey and add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder to the batter for extra flavor.

5. Can I make this bread without a mixer?
It’s possible, but it will take a bit more effort. You’ll need to manually beat the egg whites with a whisk until stiff peaks form and thoroughly combine the mixtures without deflating the egg whites too much.
