Description

Imagine a light and airy bread, reminiscent of focaccia but uniquely its own. This cloud bread offers a delightful experience for those seeking a lighter alternative to traditional loaves. It’s remarkably versatile, ready to embrace your favorite sandwich fillings, become a base for breakfast eggs, or even serve as a canvas for pizza toppings.

The texture is the star of this bread – soft and airy, almost like a delicate sponge. This is achieved with a few simple ingredients: eggs, cream cheese, and a touch of cream of tartar. The subtle tang of the cream cheese complements the richness of the eggs, creating a balanced flavor profile that's both satisfying and adaptable.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider incorporating herbs and spices. Italian seasoning adds a savory depth, while onion powder introduces a subtle, aromatic note. A sprinkle of sea salt enhances the overall taste, and fresh rosemary lends a fragrant, earthy quality.

Experiment with your favorite herbs to create a bread that perfectly matches your preferences. The inclusion of cream of tartar is key to the bread's structure. It stabilizes the whipped egg whites, giving them the strength to rise and create that signature airy texture.

Baking powder can be used as a substitute if needed. While the classic recipe calls for cream cheese, those seeking a dairy-free option can explore plant-based alternatives. This allows for greater flexibility in accommodating dietary needs and preferences.

Due to the reliance on eggs, this recipe is not suitable for vegan diets. This bread is best enjoyed fresh, when its texture is at its peak. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a day or two, though the texture may change slightly.

Freezing is not recommended, as it can compromise the bread's delicate structure. Whether you're looking for a lighter bread option or simply seeking a new culinary adventure, this cloud bread offers a delightful and satisfying experience.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 300F/150C. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a small bowl and the whites in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat on high speed for 5-8 minutes until meringue peaks form. Use a spatula to transfer to a separate bowl.
    2.
    Add the cream cheese to the same stand mixer bowl and beat on high to soften. As it’s beating, drop in the egg yolks one at a time to combine, ensuring completely smooth. Add the Italian seasoning, onion powder and sea salt and combine.
    3.
    Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the meringue into the herby yolk mixture. Folding the mixture in a clockwise motion will help retain the firm texture while adding to the air. Avoid stirring as this will deflate the meringue.
    4.
    Pour the mixture onto the lined baking tray. Spread into a rectangle shape about ¾-inch thick. Use the spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer for even baking. Sprinkle with rosemary (optional). Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-22 minutes or until golden on top. Remember to bake low and slow otherwise, it will likely burn before the center is cooked.
    5.
    Remove from the oven. Leave to cool in the tray for 10 minutes. Drizzle with good quality extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of crystal salt before serving.
