Why isn't my cloud bread getting fluffy?

Flat cloud bread usually means your egg whites weren’t beaten enough. You’ll need to whip them until they form stiff peaks—this traps air, giving the bread volume. Gently folding them into the yolk mixture is also key. If you stir too much, the air gets knocked out. Lastly, avoid opening the oven while it bakes; even a small change in temperature can affect the final texture.

What is the secret to making fluffy bread?

It all comes down to strong, stable egg whites and a gentle folding process. Whipping the whites until they’re stiff creates the lift, and folding keeps the air in. A smooth cottage cheese blend adds body and helps the bread hold together. Be sure to bake it promptly so the mixture doesn't deflate.

Can I use cottage cheese for cloud bread?

Absolutely. Cottage cheese works wonderfully in cloud bread because it’s high in protein and adds both moisture and structure. When you blend it smooth, it gives the bread a soft bite without being soggy. This fluffy cottage cheese cloud bread recipe uses it as a foundational ingredient for a balanced texture and flavor.

Can you make flatbread with cottage cheese?

Yes, you can. Skip whipping the egg whites, and bake the mixture flat on a sheet pan. You’ll end up with a denser version that works well for wraps or pizza crusts. It won’t puff up like traditional cloud bread, but it's still delicious and functional.
