What Exactly Is Cloud Bread?

Despite its name, cloud bread isn’t bread in the conventional sense. It’s a fascinating culinary creation that defies traditional definitions. Think of it less as bread and more as a savory, airy meringue. Its texture is often compared to angel food cake due to its primary ingredient: whipped egg whites, which give it that characteristic light and fluffy consistency. However, the similarities end there.

Unlike angel food cake, cloud bread is completely flourless, making it an inherently gluten-free option. It contains virtually no carbohydrates, which is why it’s a darling of keto, low-carb, and Weight Watchers communities. The magic happens when egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks, creating an incredibly stable foam that, when baked at a low temperature, transforms into a pillowy, cloud-like disc. Depending on the added flavorings, cloud bread can be prepared in both savory and sweet versions, offering incredible versatility for any craving.

This unique composition means you get all the sensory satisfaction of eating “bread” – the soft texture, the ability to hold toppings, the perfect dip for soup – without the typical nutritional drawbacks. For anyone searching for a truly guilt-free bread alternative, cloud bread is a revelation.

🥘 Essential Ingredient Notes for Perfection

You’ll be absolutely amazed by the simplicity of making this Cloud Bread, especially with the unique twist of incorporating Greek yogurt. The minimal ingredients required for such a delicious result truly make this recipe stand out. While the core concept of cloud bread has existed for some time, my particular recipe offers a distinct advantage:

• Non-fat Greek Yogurt: Many cloud bread recipes traditionally call for cream cheese. While cream cheese is certainly delicious, I’ve chosen non-fat Greek yogurt for its superior nutritional profile. Not only does it contribute a subtle tang and creamy texture, but it also boasts nearly three times the amount of protein compared to cream cheese. This makes our cloud bread not only light and airy but also more satisfying and protein-packed, a huge plus for Weight Watchers and those focused on satiety.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning: This beloved seasoning blend is the star here, transforming simple cloud bread into an irresistible savory treat. The combination of toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a touch of sea salt creates a deeply flavorful crust that mimics an authentic everything bagel. It adds a crucial layer of texture and a burst of savory goodness that elevates this bread from a plain alternative to a genuinely craveable item.
• Eggs: The foundation of cloud bread, eggs provide both structure and lightness. Separating the yolks from the whites is crucial, as the whipped egg whites form the airy base, while the yolks bind with the yogurt to add richness and color.
• Baking Powder & Cream of Tartar: These are vital leavening and stabilizing agents. Baking powder helps the cloud bread rise, contributing to its fluffy texture, while cream of tartar assists in stabilizing the whipped egg whites, ensuring they hold their peaks and don’t collapse during baking.

📖 Creative Variations & Customization

While the Everything Bagel Cloud Bread is fantastic as is, its simple base makes it highly adaptable. Don’t be afraid to experiment with these delicious variations:

Make Dairy-Free Cloud Bread:

For those avoiding dairy, this recipe can be easily modified. Simply use plain cultured coconut milk as a direct substitute for the Greek yogurt. Cultured coconut milk provides a similar tangy profile and creamy consistency, making it an excellent dairy-free alternative. Brands like “So Delicious” and “Silk” offer cultured coconut milk, often found in the dairy-free section alongside almond milk at most grocery stores.

Other Flavor Enhancements:

• Garlic Herb: Mix in a teaspoon of garlic powder and a half teaspoon of your favorite dried herbs (like oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning) into the yolk mixture for an aromatic savory bread.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the Everything Bagel seasoning for a bit of heat.
• Cheesy Delight: Fold in a tablespoon of grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast into the yolk mixture for a cheesy flavor boost.
• Sweet Cloud Bread: For a dessert-like experience, omit the Everything Bagel seasoning. Instead, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a sprinkle of cinnamon into the yolk mixture. You can even dust the tops with a tiny bit of sweetener before baking.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Cloud Bread at Home

Crafting perfect cloud bread is easier than you think, especially when you follow these simple steps. Precision in whipping egg whites and gentle folding are key to achieving that signature airy texture.

Prep Work: Before you begin mixing, ensure your oven is ready. Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat your oven to 300°F (148°C). Line a standard baking sheet pan with parchment paper – this is crucial for preventing sticking and ensuring easy removal. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray to provide an extra non-stick surface.

Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing each into separate, clean mixing bowls. Ensure there is absolutely no yolk in the egg whites, as any fat can prevent them from whipping properly. In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the non-fat Greek yogurt. Whisk these two ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform. Set aside.

To the bowl containing the egg whites, add the dry ingredients: baking powder and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until they become voluminous, fluffy, and form “medium stiff peaks.” You’ll know they’re ready when you lift the beaters, and the peaks stand up fairly straight but have a slight curl or “flop” at the very tip. This stage is crucial for the cloud bread’s airy texture – don’t underbeat (they’ll be flat) or overbeat (they’ll be dry and crumbly).

*NOTE: Medium peaks hold their shape quite well, with the tip gently curling over. Firm or stiff peaks, on the other hand, stand perfectly upright when the beaters are lifted.

This step requires a delicate touch. Slowly and very gently, fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula to scoop from the bottom and fold over, being careful not to deflate the airy whites. The goal is to combine the mixtures without losing the volume. Once just combined, spoon the mixture into six even mounds onto your prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart, as they will expand slightly. Generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel seasoning on top of each mound, dividing it evenly.

Carefully transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until the cloud bread mounds are beautifully golden brown and firm to the touch. The exact baking time can vary based on your oven and the size of your mounds; for me, 23 minutes often yields perfect results for standard sizes. If you make them larger, they will require a longer baking time. They should not be wet or sticky when gently pulled apart. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before handling. This cooling period helps them firm up and maintain their shape.

🥗 Creative Ways to Enjoy Your 0-Point WW Cloud Bread

Cloud bread is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in countless ways. While it’s delicious on its own, perhaps lightly toasted, its true potential shines when paired with other dishes. Here are some fantastic ideas to incorporate this amazing WW bread into your meals:

• Build a Sensational Sandwich: Ditch the high-carb bread and use cloud bread as your base! A toasted cloud bread makes an *amazing* foundation for a light tomato sandwich. Simply toast the cloud bread until slightly crisp, spread with a thin layer of low-fat mayonnaise, stack with fresh tomato slices, and season with a generous grind of black pepper. It’s also perfect for lean deli meats, egg salad, or even as a base for an open-faced avocado “toast.”
• Elevate Your Salads: Serve cloud bread alongside your favorite greens to add substance and a satisfying texture without heavy carbs. I particularly love pairing this WW bread recipe with my vibrant Thai Chicken Noodle Salad or the refreshing Strawberry Spinach Pecan Salad. It’s an excellent alternative to croutons or traditional bread rolls.
• Craft a Low-Carb Pizza Crust: Get creative in the kitchen by using cloud bread as a personal pizza crust! Apply your favorite low-sugar tomato sauce, a sprinkle of low-fat mozzarella, and your choice of zero-point toppings (like mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, or lean protein). You can use my Healthy Pita Pizza recipe as a guide, simply substituting the pita with cloud bread.
• Perfect for Dipping in Soup: There’s nothing quite like dipping a soft piece of bread into a warm bowl of soup. Cloud bread is absolutely phenomenal for this! It soaks up the flavors beautifully without becoming soggy. You’ll definitely want to try this delicious bread with my dairy-free and gluten-free WW Corn Chowder Soup or any other creamy, flavorful soup.
• Appetizer Base: Use smaller cloud bread discs as a base for appetizers. Top with smoked salmon and a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a savory herb spread.

🌡️ Storage & Shelf Life: Keeping Your Cloud Bread Fresh

While cloud bread is truly at its peak when enjoyed fresh, ideally within a day of baking, it stores surprisingly well, allowing you to prepare it in advance or enjoy leftovers. Its unique texture means it can absorb moisture over time, so proper storage is key to maintaining its quality:

• Refrigeration: To keep your cloud bread fresh for longer, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This prevents it from drying out or absorbing external odors.
• Freezing for Longevity: For extended storage, cloud bread freezes beautifully! Place the cooled pieces in a freezer-safe, airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply take them out to defrost.
• Reheating & Crisping: *If you freeze them, you can pop them into a toaster or toaster oven once they are defrosted to crisp them up! This brings back some of that freshly baked texture and warmth, making them almost as good as new.
