You can use it for so many things - it’s great for sandwiches, burgers, and even desserts! The best thing about this bread is the AMAZING smell that fills your kitchen when you bake it. It actually smells like real bread baking in your oven! The second best thing: you can comfortably hold your hamburger in your hands (no need for a knife and a fork!), and make great sandwiches.
Ingredients
You’ll only need five simple ingredients to make this keto cloud bread. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: Nonstick cooking spray: Used for greasing the pan. Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, including this one. Cream of tartar: This ingredient is used as a stabilizer in recipes that contain whipped egg whites. Plain Greek yogurt: I use full-fat yogurt. Salt: Just a pinch (⅛ teaspoon).
Instructions
It’s not difficult to make cloud bread, although this recipe does require learning the techniques of separating eggs, whipping the whites, and then folding them into the yolks. The detailed instructions for making this recipe are included in the recipe card below. Here are the basic steps: You start by separating the eggs into two bowls. Next, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Now, mix the yolks with Greek yogurt and salt. Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Spoon mounds of the mixture onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently flatten them. Bake the bread in a 300°F oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Expert tip
The cream of tartar helps stabilize the whipped egg whites, so I do highly recommend using it. You can usually find it in the spice aisle in any supermarket.

Variations
You can replace the Greek yogurt in this recipe with other creamy ingredients, such as sour cream, softened cream cheese, and even mayonnaise. Try sprinkling the bread with Everything but the Bagel seasoning prior to baking it. It’s really good!
Serving suggestions
This bread is fluffy and tasty. It’s not true bread, mind you. It is softer and spongier and is more like a thick savory crepe in texture. But it can definitely fill a void for someone who misses sandwiches, or for anyone on a low-carb diet who wants to hold a burger in their hands. The texture of this bread is actually fairly similar to spongy white bread or bun, and its taste is neutral. So it can go with savory dishes such as sandwiches and burgers: Or you can use it for dessert. For example, you can use it to make a keto strawberry shortcake. And just like crepes, you could fill it with whipped cream and berries. It’s also good for breakfast. I like it with butter and a slice of cheddar or with some almond butter. You can also top it with eggs such as these fluffy scrambled eggs.
Storing leftovers
It’s best to make this bread right before you plan on eating it. It gets soggy when stored in the fridge. No doubt this is a disadvantage of this recipe, as it requires some work and it would be lovely to make a big batch and store it for a few days. But so far, I haven’t found a way to successfully store leftovers. Freezing it, separated with wax paper squares, might work. But I haven’t tried that.
