Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread Recipe

Introduction

Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is a light and airy low-carb bread perfect for anyone following a keto lifestyle. Made with cottage cheese and whipped egg whites, it offers a soft texture and subtle flavor that’s great for sandwiches or toast.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp white vinegar
• 6 egg whites (room temperature)
• 1 tbsp allulose (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
• 6 egg yolks (room temperature)
• 4 oz full-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup egg white protein powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup whey protein powder (unflavored recommended)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for French toast flavor)
• Optional: bagel seasoning (everything bagel seasoning works well)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the egg whites and white vinegar in a stand mixer or electric hand mixer. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 10–15 minutes. Set aside.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cottage cheese, baking powder, salt, whey protein powder, egg white protein powder, allulose (if using), and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth if preferred.
3. Step 3: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites a little at a time, keeping the mixture light and airy.
4. Step 4: Pour the combined batter into a greased and parchment-lined 5″x9″ loaf pan. For rolls, use a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mold. Bake on the middle oven rack for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
5. Step 5: Turn off the oven but leave the bread inside with the door closed for 10 minutes. Remove the bread and let it cool slightly.
6. Step 6: Serve warm with butter, toasted, or cooled for sandwiches. Sprinkle with bagel seasoning if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when whipped.
• Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and richness.
• Add cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced version perfect for breakfast.
• Try savory toppings like everything bagel seasoning or herbs for variety.
• If you don’t have protein powders, increasing cottage cheese slightly and reducing baking powder can work but may change the texture.

Storage

Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in a toaster or oven for best texture. You can also freeze slices wrapped in parchment and foil for up to 1 month; thaw before toasting.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of allulose?

Yes, you can substitute regular sugar, but this will increase the carb content, which may not suit a strict keto diet. The allulose is optional and primarily adds a subtle sweetness.

Why is the bread so fluffy?

The fluffiness comes from whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks and gently folding them into the yolk mixture. This technique traps air, resulting in a light texture despite being grain-free and low-carb.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prep Egg Whites: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the 6 room temperature egg whites in a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer and add 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar. Whip the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Set the whipped egg whites aside carefully.
2. Combine Egg Yolks and Remaining Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add 6 room temperature egg yolks, 4 ounces of full-fat cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon of allulose (optional), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup egg white protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 cup unflavored whey protein powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional). Whisk together thoroughly until well combined. Alternatively, blend all these ingredients until smooth.
3. Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold a small portion of the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites gradually. Continue folding carefully until all mixtures are combined, being cautious to keep the batter airy and light to maintain the fluffiness of the bread.
4. Pour and Bake: Pour the combined batter into a parchment-lined and greased 5″x9″ loaf pan. For rolls, use a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mold pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top has a golden-brown color.
5. Rest and Serve: Once baking is complete, turn off the oven but do not open the door. Allow the bread to rest in the oven for an additional 10 minutes to finish setting. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
6. Enjoy: Serve the cloud bread warm, toasted with a little butter, or cooled and used for sandwiches. Optional toppings like everything bagel seasoning add extra flavor.
