Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 30 grams (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
  • 15 grams (1 tablespoon) cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • Food coloring (as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder (for matcha variation)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for chocolate swirl)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest (for fruit essence)
  • Cinnamon, powdered sugar, or edible glitter (for topping)
  • Substitute: 45 ml aquafaba (for vegan version instead of egg whites)

Instructions

  1. Separate the Egg Whites: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets mixed in, as this will affect the whipping process. Place the egg whites in a large, clean bowl for whipping.
  2. Whip the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar in small portions while continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks appear—this creates the essential fluffy base.
  3. Gently Fold in Dry Ingredients: Combine the cornstarch and vanilla extract separately, then carefully fold them into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be gentle to keep as much air trapped inside as possible, which forms the bread’s signature puffiness. (For variations, fold in optional ingredients like matcha, cocoa, or citrus zest here.)
  4. Shape the Cloud Bread: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon to scoop the mixture into cloud-shaped rounds, smoothing the tops lightly for uniformity.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the shaped batter at 150°C (300°F) for 15 to 20 minutes until they turn a soft golden hue. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly; the texture will set into the soft, fluffy bread we all love.

Notes

  • Use eggs at room temperature for better whipping and volume.
  • Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and grease-free to help egg whites whip effectively.
  • Fold ingredients gently using a spatula in slow, steady motions to retain air in the mixture.
  • Avoid overbaking to prevent drying out the bread and losing fluffiness.
  • Fresh eggs and good quality vanilla extract significantly enhance flavor.
  • To refresh leftover cloud bread, warm briefly in a low-temperature oven or toaster for 3-5 minutes; avoid microwaving.
  • Keep leftover cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze with parchment paper between layers for up to one month.
  • For a vegan version, replace egg whites with aquafaba (chickpea liquid) and whip similarly.
  • Be cautious not to open the oven door frequently during baking to prevent collapsing.
