3.8 from 54 reviews

Keto Cloud Bread, also known as Oopsie Bread, is a light, fluffy low-carb bread alternative perfect for those following a ketogenic or low-carb diet. Made primarily from eggs and cream cheese, this easy-to-make bread is gluten-free, grain-free, and versatile for sandwiches, burger buns, or snacks. The recipe uses whipped egg whites to create airy, soft mounds baked to perfection without added flour.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 pinch cream of tartar (preferred but not required)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks into two separate bowls.
  3. Mix Yolks: Add the softened cream cheese and salt to the egg yolks. Use an electric mixer to blend this mixture until smooth and well combined.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: If using, sprinkle cream of tartar onto the egg whites. Whip the whites with a clean electric mixer until very stiff peaks form, which is key for the bread’s fluffy texture.
  5. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Fold carefully to preserve the airiness and fluffiness of the whites without deflating them.
  6. Shape Bread: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking pan in 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly to form bread rounds.
  7. Bake: Bake the mounds at 300°F for about 25 to 30 minutes. Avoid overbaking to prevent the cloud bread from becoming crumbly.
  8. Cool: Let the breads cool on the baking pan for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store: To keep the cloud bread soft, store in a large zipper bag. Refrigeration or freezing extends freshness but may alter softness.

Notes

  • For best results, whip the egg whites until very stiff. Cream of tartar helps stabilize the whites but is optional.
  • Avoid doubling the recipe as heavier batches can deflate the egg whites and affect texture.
  • To maintain a proper fat ratio, consider spreading ½ tablespoon of butter on each cloud bread roll before serving.
  • For thicker buns suitable for burgers, reduce cream cheese to 2.5 ounces and add ¼ cup almond flour to the egg yolks before folding.
  • Cloud bread is very delicate; handle gently when cooling and storing.
