• ¼ cup egg white protein powder (20g)
• 1 tablespoon allulose (optional)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder and onion powder (optional, for savory version)

Second: Prepare the Egg Whites

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Add egg whites to a mixing bowl with vinegar or cream of tartar.
3. Whisk using a stand mixer or hand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 10-15 minutes).

Third: Mix the Remaining Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, baking powder, salt, whey protein powder, and egg white protein powder.
2. Whisk or blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Fourth: Fold the Mixture Together

1. Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites, adding a small amount at a time.
2. Gently mix until fully incorporated, maintaining the airy texture.

Fifth: Bake the Cloud Bread

1. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.
3. If making rolls, spoon the batter onto a lined baking sheet or into a silicone mold.
4. Bake on the middle shelf for 50 minutes (loaf) or 20-25 minutes (rolls) until golden brown.
5. Turn off the oven and let the bread sit inside for 10 minutes before removing.

Tips for Making the Best Keto Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

• Use full-fat cottage cheese: This enhances the creaminess and texture.
• Ensure egg whites are stiff: This helps create a fluffy texture.
• Fold gently: Avoid overmixing to maintain airiness.
• Experiment with seasonings: Add Italian seasoning or cheddar cheese for a flavor boost.

If you’re looking for a tasty side dish, consider serving it alongside Crockpot Beef and Noodles for a balanced, satisfying dinner.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing Keto Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread

• Skipping the stiff peaks step: If the egg whites are not properly whipped, the bread won’t be light and fluffy.
• Overmixing the batter: This can cause the mixture to deflate.
• Not using parchment paper: The bread may stick to the pan without it.
