About Cloud Bread.
I know that cloud bread is taking the internet by storm right now and a lot of you really want to try it. I’m here to help with that but I’m also here to be real with you so here I go….
1) It’s really easy to make!
2) It’s not, in fact bread so take that out of your brain now.
3) It is sweeter than you might expect.
4) If you don’t like eggs turn back NOW!!!
Cloud bread is made from 3 main ingredients: egg whites, cornstarch, and sugar. It felt very much like soufflé adventure if we’re speaking frankly, which we are! In my head I was expecting something that was firmer, not sweet, and somehow tasted like bread. What I got was a sweet, quickly deflating, firm(ish) egg concoction. I thought I would be slathering on our Homemade Rainbow Butter but alas, it was not that type of thing.
I based the recipe I used off of what I saw from various other recipes. Temps varied as well and I settled on 300 degrees. I also baked longer than many. I baked for 20 minutes while others were 15. I honestly wish I pushed it to 25 minutes. Something to try in the future.
Long story short, did I love it? No. Would I try it again? Yes. The thing is, you really need to switch your brain from thinking it’ll be just like bread. It won’t. If you can get over this fact, you might just enjoy it.
