Air Fryer Cloud Bread Recipe

Make fluffy and low-carb Cloud Bread with the ease of your air fryer! This gluten-free bread alternative is light, airy, and perfect for sandwiches, snacks, or just enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened) or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener (optional, for a slightly sweet version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Whites:
    • In a clean mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  2. Mix the Yolks:
    • In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened cream cheese (or yogurt), and sweetener until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the Mixtures:
    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three batches. Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep the mixture airy.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Form the Cloud Bread:
    • Line the air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. Spoon the mixture into small rounds, leaving space between them. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
  6. Cook in the Air Fryer:
    • Air fry the cloud bread at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cloud bread to cool slightly before removing it from the parchment paper. Serve as sandwich buns, burger bases, or enjoy them plain!

Tips for Success

  • Small Batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to ensure even cooking.
  • Gentle Handling: Be careful when transferring the airy batter to the basket to preserve its fluffiness.
  • Savory Options: Add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs for a savory variation.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 2-3 minutes.
