Steps
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease lightly.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar, until stiff peaks form. (Make sure they are stiff peaks, not soft peaks!)
In a second large bowl, use the mixer to beat the mascarpone, egg yolks, and sea salt until smooth.
Carefully and gradually fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula. Use a folding motion to incorporate, being careful not to break down the air bubbles in the whites.
Scoop the mixture into 6 circular discs onto the parchment paper.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, until golden.
Let the cloud bread cool a bit on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.

michelle on 2026-02-15 (2 stars): I must be doing something wrong but I’ve made these 3 times now, following recipe verbatim and they always flatten out. They taste fantastic…melt in your mouth texture, but when you pick them up they LITERALLY fall apart, they are so delicate. My egg whites are peaked 3” high so it’s not that. What am I doing wrong?
Sue fowee on 2026-01-08 (5 stars): Love these
Carol A Haigler on 2026-01-07 (5 stars): This is my favorite bread. I’ve been gluten-free for over 10 years and haven’t found a bread I really like. This one works for me and is low-carb, which is a win-win.
Gwen on 2026-01-05 (4 stars): I've actually added a bit of Almond meal to the recipe which has made it a bit sturdier - and because I make it fresh when I want it reduced the recipe appropriately. So 1 egg with 20g Almond meal = 2 medium slices. I suspect Almond flour would be better as its finer, but I usually only have almond meal in the house, so adapted. I shape the batter on the parchment in squares for a more traditional bread slice. Works great. Thanks for the recipe and your website - have learned a lot from it this last year.
mrslaurennjames on 2025-12-07 (5 stars): Great recipe. How should I properly store them for later use?
vanessaannesanders on 2025-09-09 (5 stars): I’m absolutely AMAZED at just how delicious and how much like bread this bread actually was!!! I’d give it 10 stars if I could⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Linda on 2025-08-13 (3 stars): It's rather like having a slice of the top of a souffle. It worked, but I much prefer your low carb, almond flour bread recipe.
