Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the batter.
Whip Egg Whites: In a mixing bowl, combine the 4 egg whites with a splash of vinegar and the cream of tartar. Using a high-speed mixer, whip until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes about 10-15 minutes and is essential for creating the bread’s fluffy texture.
Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the 2 egg yolks thoroughly with the 1 cup of cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt if preferred), ensuring a smooth, combined mixture.
Fold Mixtures Together: Gently fold the egg yolk and cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites, taking care not to deflate the whites to maintain the lightness of the batter.
Prepare Baking Pan: Line a 5″x9″ loaf pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
Pour Batter and Bake: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top gently. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool Before Slicing: After baking, leave the bread inside the turned-off oven for 10 minutes to cool. This helps set the structure and makes slicing easier without crumbling.

Notes

Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best whipping results.
Folding should be gentle to keep the batter airy.
Using cottage cheese provides moisture and protein but Greek yogurt can be substituted for a slightly different texture.
Store any leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This bread is keto-friendly and low in carbs, perfect for diabetic and low-carb diets.
