For our Gluten Free followers out there, we thought we would try this no flour bread recipe.
It seemed simple enough & they are carbohydrate-free, gluten free & high in protein.
No Flour Cloud Bread
6 Jumbo eggs, separated
6 Tbs. of full-fat (at least 4% milk fat) cottage cheese
1 Tbs. sweetener (splenda)
½ tsp. cream of tartar
Cooking spray
Tools:
Hand-mixer
Parchment paper
2 large mixing bowls
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, putting the yolks in one large bowl and the white in the other. Set the egg whites in the fridge to chill.
- With the hand mixer, mix the cottage cheese, sweetener, and egg yolks until it is silky as you can achieve. Small lumps of the cottage cheese are ok and not noticeable in your batch. Trade this bowl with the egg-white bowl in the fridge.
- Line & paper 3 cookie sheets. Try and use all cookie sheets at the same time, this batter does not sit well.
- Preheat oven to 300.
- Add cream of tartar to the egg whites; beat the eggs until they form stiff peaks.
- Use a large spoon to gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg white meringue.
- Using the same spoon, scoop dollops onto the cookies sheets, leaving 1 inch between each.
- Place all cookie sheets into the oven at the same time. The bread rounds will bake between 20 – 30 minutes. Bake them to be light golden color for softer bread, and darker to be crisper.
Tupps Tidbits ~ 3 cookie sheets did not fit in our oven, we opt to make ½ this recipe and use 2 cookie sheets
We found that you definitely would want to bake them the full 30 minutes, if not more time, till they are brown on top…they come out light and fluffy. I would like to try them again & add flavors such as onion powder or cinnamon-sugar or maybe fresh thyme & oregano. They also might turn out better if you spread the bread out onto the full baking sheet, then cutting into loaf-like squares. Verdict is still out if they are KEEPER OR NOT A KEEPER. They are definately NOT a KEEPER in our house but we are checking with our Gluten Free expert!
UPDATE: from the Gluten Free expert "Cloud bread is questionable, I would not recommend it."
