Cloud Bread – Easy No-Carb Recipe



updated May 22, 2023

All the articles & recipes on this website have been created through real-life testing and experience (no ai) since 2010. This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

Looking for a way to make sandwiches without carbs and gluten? This cloud bread recipe is the perfect way to hold your favorite things together.

Check out how easy it is to make!

How to make Cloud Bread

This recipe for cloud bread also referred to it as Keto bread or No-Carb Cloud Bread is the perfect solution to your bread-free woes.

I mean, sometimes you just want a low-carb sandwich! And making it is so easy you are not going to believe it.

These delicious little rounds are gluten-free, have practically no carbs, and are the perfect substitute for regular bread! It proves that you can be gluten-free and still enjoy mealtime!

For more inspiration and healthy clean recipes, the whole family can enjoy checking out the Family KickStart Program. It is full of family-friendly recipes that are yummy and of course, gluten-free and made with real ingredients.

Stack of cloud bread rounds on cooling rack

Having a household that is mostly gluten-free, seemed to be a challenge, at first.

I mean sandwiches are the quintessential lunch food, and if you are gluten-free, you have two options; no sandwiches or gluten-free bread, which is expensive and tends to dry out.

After spending a small fortune, I was desperate for a better way. Thankfully, I discovered this recipe, and haven’t looked back since.

Keto-Friendly Bread

I also eat a Ketogenic diet for about four months, twice a year.

The first few rounds were not so bad because I was focused on my health; however, after a while, I practically salivated every time I’d make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for someone in my family. With this recipe, I don’t have to miss out.

Can I also add, that this recipe is made with only three ingredients! Eggs, cream cheese, and cream of tartar.

So technically, not only are these no-carb and easy to make, but they are also cheaper than a loaf of bread!

cloud breads cooling down on a cooking rack

Now before making this recipe, it is super important to READ the directions from start to finish since the cream cheese will need to be at room temperature, the eggs separated, and egg whites are beaten.

This is a simple recipe but if one step is skipped or done wrong, the cloud bread will not come out in those light, fluffy rounds.

Another major key to a successful cloud bread batch is baking! The oven HAS to be 300F.

Nowadays, most ovens have both the bake and convection bake option, this means the oven turns on a fan that circulates the heat, adding about 25 degrees to the temperature.

If your oven is too hot, it will sadly burn the Cloud Bread and leave you breadless. I’m positive if you keep an eye on these guys you will avoid all burnt goods and achieve that light, fluffy, cheesy cloud!

One final note is that I’ve tried this recipe with cottage cheese and the texture of the bread is different.

The batter is runnier, and the bread rounds are flat and not as fluffy. For best results, use full-fat cream cheese.

You can top these with your favorite nut butter or jelly, make a classic sandwich, or eat them plain. The possibilities are endless! Check out a few sandwich ideas in the Packed Lunches eBook to try with these cloud breads!

    Thank you for this great recipe, I have a friend who has just been put on a very strict diet plan and no bread is a killer for him as he loves sandwiches, so I made these for him and he loved them, he asked for more, which is amazing because he is also a very fussy eater.

    If everyone would just follow your good instructions they would have beautiful cloud bread like I have. Thank you so much for the great recipe. Recently allergy tests showed I am allergic to some of the chemicals in all purpose flour. Many countries ban these chemicals but at this point America still uses them. I don’t know if you can begin to imagine how happy I was when I found your blog. I can now look forward to a tomato sandwich this summer. I am still awed by your wonderful recipe and instructions. I will be 83 next week and my cloud bread is gorgeous and tastes so good. You have really helped me and I thank you with all my heart. Granny in NC

      I’m glad they were successful for you. The recipe is our most basic recipe, easily made into something more savory or sweet by adding seasonings. It is made with eggs and there are no grains… so if you aren’t used to this bread, it can definitely taste different than regular bread.

    I think this was excellent! I’m on a low carb diet and miss bread…I really miss bread! Even though this isn’t the exact consistency as bread but it reminds me of a croissant. I have tried many substitute “low carb/no carb breads” but all were cheese based and I wasn’t a fan. I used cream cheese and added a teaspoon of salt to the yolk mixture. Salt is needed for your plain cloud bread or it will be very bland (my opinion). I placed in the toaster for some sandwhiches, and it toasted nicely. So far, I made some tuna fish, chicken salad and BLT’s. It turned out great.

    Another batch I made, prior to baking, I topped with herbs (garlic SALT, rosemary, oregano and basil and some with shredded Colby jack cheese…omitting the regular salt to the yolk as above). Once they were done baking I brushed with melted butter. AMAZING! These will be incredible when making a pot roast and use as a biscuit.

    My next thing I want to try is make a low carb sausage and gravy and use these as the biscuits.

    Stiff peaks that won’t fall out of the bowl when tipped over is a crucial element for this recipe.

    For those still struggling with getting those stiff peaks, these googled tips worked for me (and I am no master chef):
    1. Use an electric hand mixer – mine is the cheapest and bottom of the range and I get perfect peaks.
    2. Use cold egg whites from the fridge.
    3. Use a glass or metal bowl as plastic bowls tend retain oils and could be preventing the whites from being whipped up.
    4. MOST IMPORTANT of all – there should be no egg shells or or yolk residue in the egg whites or they won’t whip up.
    An amazing secret – you can use egg shells to scoop out bits of egg yolk that manage to get into the whites. This has worked brilliantly for me since I almost always damage at least one of the yolks.

    As for the main recipe – I don’t use sugar or sweetener in mine bread. Also these days I have taken to spreading the entire mixture into a large rectangle on a baking sheet. Once cooled I cut these into smaller squares.

    I make cloud bread in a madelaine cookie pan (abt 18 per recipe). It is easy and they look very special. I use NO sugar or sugar substitute and they taste great. Try them with fresh berries and whipped cream for a “shortcake” treat. I freeze the extras by laying them out flat in freezer bag. You can also put on shredded cheese in the microwave for a few seconds. The madelaine pan makes them far more manageable.

    Hello,

    I tried to make this recipe today and I failed miserably. Im not the most savvy cook but Im really trying haha. Anyway I read some of the comments and saw I should try a hand mixer. I tried this and did it for more than 5 minutes and no peaks rose. The cloud bread as such came out very very flat once baked…but it tasted great.

    What would be the best way to improve this…Should I mix it by hand with a whisk? Any and all suggestions would be helpful! I really want to make this recipe work!

    OH! I used fat free cream cheese…could that be what went wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

      I’ve never made it with fat free cream cheese, the light cream cheese does work. The biggest thing with this recipe is to make sure the egg-whites are at stiff peaks.

      You might try putting the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator an hour before you’ll start baking. I do that with whipped cream and it works every time. Good luck.

    This should be called Heavenly bread or Angel bread. It is amazing. I’m new to grain free eating and this is perfect. I use an ice cream scoop to drop on parchment. When they come out of the oven I immediately loosen them with a spatula and then leave them on the paper to cool, if I can leave them alone that long. Fresh from the oven with butter is so satisfying. After being in the fridge overnight, I put them in my convection oven for a short time to crisp them up.

    First time I tried making this it was a complete disaster. Then I read the other comments and figured out that I didn’t beat the egg whites enough. Tried again and got much better results. I just need to work on making the size more consistent.

    I have been making these regularly for over a month. For those of whom it hasn’t worked out, please note the recipe is easy provide you stick to the details: egg whites whipped to stiff peaks that will remain in the bowl even if tipped over, folding in yolk mixture gently.

    My latest addition has been adding 2 teaspoons of psyllium husks. It adds fibre, volume and makes for a firmer texture.
    If you are going this route then I suggest you add the psyllium husk to the yolk-cheeese mixture but only AFTER you have whipped the whites and you are ready to combine everything. The husk absorbs moisture and will form a dough if it is left standing in the yolk while you whip up the whites.

    First time I did little rounds. I didn’t peak my egg whites long enough. I did it again and whipped them for 8 minutes and pored the mixture in a smaller baking sheet then cut them into rectangles. I loved this because it was easier. I use parchment paper and take the while sheet out to cool. I love this recipe and can get along much better not having bread. So many options and ways to use it. I am in heaven!

      Chrissie –
      Being lazy, I found a simple fix. Make them in muffin-top or whoopie pie pans. Spray with cooking spray and they come out well if you let them cool and are careful. If you are too rough they snap in half. If you want them as sandwich buns, make them thin and use two. Muffin-top pans make buns slightly larger than commercial hamburger buns, whoopie pie pans make great slider buns. Good luck!

    I had to share this: I typically make these with 4 eggs and 2 oz of cream cheese. Today, I used 3.5 oz of cream cheese, and beat the eggs stiffer than usual. I topped with rosemary, and crushed sea salt (I was thinking about foccaccia….. They came out tasting like PRETZELS! Delicious.

    Someone asked abut crisping these: leave them out all day (even overnight), and they become cracker-like.

    Also: I never bake these longer than 18 minutes; gas oven. They would burn up if I cooked them any longer. and, I always use baking powder.

    I sent in a lengthy post with recipes, and lots of tips. Seems to be gone. Not sure where it went.

    Enjoy, everyone! I live on these. Great recipe!

    If you have pure essential oils (not from the grocery store), you can add them to the batter to mix up the flavor (i.e., not all oils can be used in cooking – they have to be completely free of any contaminants and 100% pure). I have some variations of essential oils that are good for this recipe: rosemary oil, basil oil, or basil oil with garlic powder, cinnamon oil (with some sugar on top!), cumin oil. I was thinking even a half drop of cilantro oil – and then use them as taco shells?

    I’ve made mini pizzas with clouds as crusts but my favorite is making ones about 5 inches across. I take one the next morning and use a turned over juice glass placed on top of the cloud and pressed and twisted until the circle pops out of the middle of the cloud. I heat up a pan with butter, put the hollowed out cloud in the pan and crack an egg into the hole. When nearly cooked through, I flip it, add a sprinkle of cheddar, sprinkle a touch of salt n pepper. Ta da. Bunnies in a basket.

      Hi Lori, a regular hand mixer should be able to get egg whites to form peaks. I think the cream of tartar is supposed to help (I don’t know the science behind that!). But try a glass or metal mixing bowl, not plastic, apparently that makes a difference. Even the tiniest bit of oil or film on plastic will prevent them from whipping. It should take a few minutes.

    Thank you for this recipe! I made it last night, with Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese, and the rounds turned out so cute. They taste about like I expected they would (pretty eggy), but after storing them in the refrigerator overnight in a Ziploc bag, the tops are still quite sticky and mushy. Is that normal? If not, I’m assuming it’s because of the lower quality, thinner Greek yogurt I had on hand. I will have to give it another try with some nice thick yogurt next time!

        Not all grain free is gluten free. but from the ingredients in this recipe, it is gluten free. Gluten free people have to be very careful about hidden ingredients. I plan on trying it.

    I am a Type 1& a half Diabetic (need insulin) and never eat bread, unless it is a wrap or small low-carb tortilla. I’d love to try this, but I am also allergic to eggs! Are there any low-carb bread substitutes out there that aren’t egg based? One or two eggs in a recipe don’t bother me, but egg-based things, like this, do. Thanks!

      Hi, I’m sorry but these need the eggs for stability. You could omit the sugar in these allergy-friendly pancakes (gluten, dairy, and egg free) and use them as bread. I do that often!

    I am allergic to egg yolks but not to egg whites. I’m wondering if I could substitute something for the egg yolks — maybe just add extra cream cheese to give it substance? I love the idea. I’ve been living grain and sugar free for quite some time, but sometimes I really long for something like bread.

    Made two batches today and substituted culinary coconut milk (it is thicker than regular coconut milk) in equal amounts for the cream cheese. I also used a pinch of sea salt instead of cream of tartar (both do equally well in stabilizing beaten eggs whites). What a marvelous grain-free AND dairy-free bread alternative. Plus my 4-year-old loves it! Who could ask for more? The next batch is going to get a sprinkle of cinnamon.

      Actually she folds the yolks back in but the eggs need to be separated to whip the whites up into a meringue consistency. This type of bread has been around for years. When Atkins published it the recipe name was “Oopsie Rolls” except it omitted the sugar.

      It s not a bread texture per se but will hold a sandwich together.

      The reason for separating the egg is 2 fold. The yolks provide protein and substance. More importantly, you whip the whites into a meringue. It is really important to use room temperature egg whites and get absolutely no yolk in them.

        I believe it is the whites that provide the protein structure and the yolks are the fat. That is the reason the whites must be beaten separately making certain there is no type of fat on the beaters or in the bowl. Fat will cause the whites to collapse. Then there is both fat and protein in the cream cheese or yogurt, whichever you choose. Fold in the yolk mixture in gently but quickly over the top of the stiff peaks. It is the same technique as for a souffle.

      By whipping the whites apart from the yolks, you can get much more air into them to create the fluffy clouds. You must not get even a smidgen of yolk in them. Do them one at a time in a separate bowl, only adding the white if it is pure to the other whites. It will not hurt to have some white in with the yolks.

      You need to separate them because the fluffiness comes from making the whites into a simple meringue. If any fat (oil, yolk, etc) touches meringue, it immediately starts to dissolve.

      So, you fluff up the egg whites all alone with some tartar (which helps hold it together), then you carefully (sooo gently) fold in the already mixed yolk/cheese/sweetner into the egg whites.

      Have your sheet and oven ready, because once they’re mixed they’ll start to melt. Get them on the pan and in the oven right away.

      It’s really simple, but remember that once the yolks meet the whites the clock is ticking.

      hey! I think it may be too thin because you’ve over beaten the mixture. The air bubbles trapped in the egg whites are what give the form their structure so think of it like whipped cream, its nice and firm but if you add something to it and stir you end up with a puddle. Try doing this, use 1/3 of your fluffy, stiff egg white mixture and combine well with the egg yolk/cream cheese mixture then add another 1/3 and cut/fold it in like you would for a mousse, then do the same for the last 1/3 as well. The technique should work and you can get a video tutorial online. Here’s one that may help. http://allrecipes.com/video/76/how-to-fold-in-egg-whites/

SO I am working hard on avoiding wheat grain and any kind of lactose. Since this recipe calls for cream cheese, could you suggest a possible substitute? Or does the cheese change properties after being baked? BTW, I am soooooo sad, I LOVE CHEESE! :’-(

      You can make cream cheese from lactose free milk! You just need milk, salt and white vinegar and a cheese cloth.
      4 cups of Lactose Free 3.25% Milk
      ½ tbsp fine sea or kosher salt
      1 ½ tbsp white vinegar
      Allow milk and salt to boil. Remove from heat. Add the vinegar. Allow it to cool completely.
      Once cool, pour mixture into a sieve covered in cheese cloth. Let it sit in the fridge overnight. Whisk it before putting it into a container. It will last one month.

    I came across this recipe from a friend’s FB post… had to try it! Stayed true to the recipe, except I didn’t have cream of tartar ~ so I used the same amount of baking powder. Heck, I didn’t have an electric beater or mixer so I used my hand-cranked beater, and everything turned out great! The egg white formed and peaked. Parchment paper to line the baking sheet. Great when warm. Cool everything down before putting it in the fridge (lasted 3 days) and in the freezer (a week). Still fluffy. Can’t wait to try “grilled cheese”. This is really Heaven-sent because it’s an easy few ingredients recipe (because I don’t cook, bake, therefore not egg-beater), and I’ve been looking for something that could hold my sandwich meat and doesn’t taste bready or grainy or expensive like almond flour. Cheers! THANK YOU! :)

      salt promotes the coagulation of proteins, which means you have to beat the egg whites longer to unwind the bunched up (coagulated) protein strands and stretch them into the thin films that encase air bubbles and create foam. Second, if added too early, it decreases the stability of the beaten egg whites, which in turn weakens the protein network that forms the structure of the foam. As a results your egg whites would actually wilt and that would cause the yolk to cook faster than it should creating that eggy taste… I hope this helps.

        But if you don’t have it in your pantry and your recipe calls for it, just substitute fresh lemon juice or white vinegar for the cream of tartar. For every 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in the recipe, use 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar. As an example, if your cookie recipe calls for 1 teaspoon baking soda, add 2 teaspoons lemon juice instead of the cream of tartar. If your simple syrup recipe asks for 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, use 3-4 drops of lemon juice. And for the whipping egg whites? Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice per egg white.

    I followed your recipe to the letter. The hardest part is to be patient while beating the egg whites and getting them glossy and really firm. They are perfect. In the morning I heat one or two up in a toaster oven, a little sweet butter or jelly or just plain and yum! It satisfies your longing for a bagel or English muffing without the gluten issues. Thanks for the recipe and thanks to my friend Cindy for giving me the information about Cloud Bread. YUM!!!

    I’m on weight watchers and was so intrigued by this recipe, but after adding everything up, and using Stevia instead of Honey, this ends up being 1 Smart Point per piece (if you make 10 pcs as this recipe directs). Which is great, but you can buy commercially prepared bread that has the same exact “value”.

    I can have 2 slices of Pepperidge Farm Light Style bread for 2pts
    or Sara Lee delightful 45cal bread, also 2pts for 2 slices

    I def appreciate the recipe, and the fact that if you make it, you know exactly what goes in it, but I will not be making this.

      The main benefit of the recipe is that it is a very low carb bread-like yet grain free substitution. The calories and point issue is secondary although good to know if you are on this plan.

      not everyone is on weight watchers and some of us specifically need low carb. I find it quite rude to the blogger that you comment somewhat negatively without even trying the recipe. the world doesn’t need to know your every thought. and yes, I take it as my personal mission to let folks know, because people seem to have lost all semblance of manners. I personally really liked this recipe.

          Stef, you may want to look for a one minute low carb muffin—it uses egg and flax seed for a very uffin like texture. You can add savory or sweet to it for your purposes (I do sweet with cinnamon and APlenda for breakfast and celery seed and onion powder for a savory muffin). Not sure if Momables has this recipe but most low card sites have a version.

(Gluten free, carb free, sugar free, etc.) I suggest not being a debbie downer just because you don’t have these issues, as so many other appreciate and embrace this with enthusiasm.

    Because I find it easier to measure cream cheese by weight, my husband kindly searched for the equivalent.

    In this case, 1 oz. equals 2 tablespoons, so 2 ounces would equal 4 tablespoons.

If I hold them in my hand, to butter the other side, a thin layer of “bread” comes off. Am I just not cooking them long enough? Ideas?

    Hi Laura, new to the site and it’s impressive. Thanks for the invite. Questions about your “Cloud Bread” grain free bread substitute, Would it be possible to invert the pan and let them cool as would an angel food cake to keep more volume? I guess they’d have to be allowed to adhere to the pan. I’ll try it with unsprayed/lightly sprayed . Should the oven be hotter then for a good rise? Would a couple tablespoons of flour and a quarter tsp of baking powder and/or quick yeast make it more substantial but still somewhat low carb? Thanks in advance for your time, and keep up the great work.

      William, these are best baked longer at a lower temperature in the oven. at a higher temperature they burned. This recipe is meant as a grain free alternative to sandwich rounds. It works well as written. They are not mean to be “cake” but as “sandwich” holders. I hope this helps.

    Brilliant recipe!! I have made it so many times now I can do it without the recipe. Hubby and I are on a low carb / low calorie diet. I wanted to see if I could get the calorie count a little lower. I substituted the cream cheese with non-fat greek yogurt and it works fine. I also use 4 egg whites and only 2 yolks and liquid stevia instead of honey. I don’t think it changes the integrity of the bread. I have posted the calorie breakdown below.

    Also, someone mentioned that theirs cooked very thin and very quickly. I have 2 ovens and was going to do a double batch. The lower oven must have cooked hotter because they were done in 20 minutes or less. When they came out, they still tasted good but they flattened significantly as they cooled. You might want to try cooking them at 250 or less. They really should take their time cooking.

    Thanks again for the recipe!

      Sofia, I’ve tried it once with full fat greek yogurt. They didn’t hold as well. the thing about cream cheese is that while the texture is similar it melts when heated and it reconstitutes its shape/texture when it cools. yogurt and ricotta cheese don’t and thus they aren’t the same.

        I’ve made these a couple times with cottage cheese without problems. I haven’t tried it with cream cheese, so maybe I’m spoiled by not knowing the ideal, but they seem pretty good to me.

        The first time I just tried to mash the cottage cheese lumps, but they didn’t go away completely and left some harder bits in the finished product. Not the best, but I could deal with it. I think I also used maybe low fat cottage cheese? I don’t know, I had it on hand which is why I wanted to use it.

        The next time I put the cottage cheese in my blender with the egg yolks to make it super smooth and then folded it into the egg whites. Lumps are gone and I still have my clouds! This time I used a more full fat cottage cheese.

        I then cooked them on parchment paper and had no problems at all with sticking or excessive “spread”.

        I also added in garlic powder and pepper instead of the stevia both times, but I don’t think that should have changed the texture much.

    Does the cream cheese substitute recipe fail because of the chemistry of it? Do you think it might work with peanut butter instead of cream cheese? It’s be more dessert-like if that worked. Maybe I’ll experiment. What about mustard?! Now I’m just talking crazy, right? LOL

          I’m sorry, I don’t use xylitol so I don’t know.

    Would you know what the calories are on these? My husband is counting calories and I’m a type 2 diabetic, so I know I can eat these, just would like to know about calories. Thanks!

      I dont, but you are welcome to plug the ingredients into many of the websites that offer nutrition facts for free.

    Making these for the first time… Hope they turn out, it seemed a bit runny. Was wondering if you could make them in a pie pan and cut them up when cooled.?

      Angel, I’ve never made them in a pie pan. If you try them, let me know how they come out.

    I use this basic recipe without the honey and truvia (replace with 1/2 tsp onion powder or Italian seasoning) and then fold in 1/2 cup of egg white powder or whey protein powder to increase my protein intake. I bake 40-45 minutes at 375degrees in a smaller bread pan (4×7). Let cool completely and then cut! I have also used it in a large pan with sides for pizza crust…bake 15 minutes, put on toppings and then bake again until toppings melt…yum~

    Well… I’m not sure what I did wrong. They were not fluffy like the pic. They only took half the time to cook and one totally disintegrated! I’m sure it has something to do with the “folding of the egg whites”. I thought they were quite thin but had to scrape to get the 10th one.

    That said… THESE WERE AMAZING!!!!! I ate 2 right away and am eating another 2 this morning!

    I was wondering if you had experimented with this… tried making pancakes, rolls, or some sort of “loaf” or “biscuit”.

    I will most definitely try these again! “Perfect” or not they are delicious! And satisfy that “need” for bread that I had almost given up on.

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    hi
    i just made these and they were pretty brown but not crispy when i took them out. did i make them too thick? i’m afraid if i left in longer they would burn? does it mean they are undercooked if they didn’t get crispy? thanks!
    p.s. they taste amazing!!!

      Sonya, they are supposed to be poured quite “thin” so they cook and crisp. either way, a bit fluffy is no big deal. :)

      Bette, unfortunately, this is not a dairy free recipe.

    I can’t wait to try this! Do you think I could add some ground flax? Just wondering if I could up the fiber in any way? Even without I give it a try!

      Maybe, but no more than 2 teaspoons for the entire recipe.

      I am not sure. Please check out the conversions for your brand. It’s optional and I don’t include it when I make mine.
