Cloud Bread

No-carb paleo cloud rounds. Fresh out of the oven, they are fluffy and light. Storing them overnight in a plastic bag adds some elasticity to them so they become more bread-like.

The rounds will rise and fall a bit during the bake, but they don’t run and flatten only slightly depending on how long you whipped the whites.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step: 3

Place egg whites and baking powder in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl; beat together until stiff peaks form.

Step: 4

Fold yolk mixture gently into egg whites until batter is just combined and light yellow in color.

Step: 5

Scoop batter into 4-inch rounds on baking sheet, flattening peaks with the back of the spoon.

Step: 6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
