Gluten free cloud bread recipe

Gluten-free doesn’t have to be as restricting as some might think, especially if you like cooking. Here is a great recipe for a bread alternative. Cloud bread is a favorite of mine because it’s pretty easy, requires few ingredients, is low in calories, and is delicious when toasted.

Ingredients

3 eggs
3 tbsp cream cheese (I use non-fat)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
liquid stevia OR 1 packet of artificial sweetener
Mrs. Dash

Instructions

1. Preheat oven at 300F.
2. Separate eggs carefully into two bowls.
3. Mix cream cheese, 4 drops of liquid stevia OR 1 packet of stevia, and egg yolks until smooth.
4. Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks form. If the mixture isn’t fluffy and peaks aren’t stiff, you won’t be able to make as many breads. Plus, a light and fluffy mixture will mean the bread will hold up better for a few days after.
5. Carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Don’t beat furiously, just mix gently until the two mixtures are pretty well combined but they remain light and fluffy.
6. Put 8-10 dollops on a large pre-greased baking tray. Flatten dollops into hamburger bun-like shapes, round and not more than 1inch thick. Taller buns don’t tend to bake as well underneath and can get egg-y.
7. Bake for 5min.
8. Carefully sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash (or a seasoning of your choice) on top of each of the buns. Return to oven.
9. Bake for 30min.

That’s it! If you eat the buns immediately after taking them out of the oven, they’re pretty fluffy. However, I think they taste more bread-like if you let them cool and then briefly toast them in a toaster oven before using for sandwiches/snacks/whatever.

Good luck! Let us know if you try this recipe and what you think?
