Lots of foodies and chef share their creations on this platform, showing off some culinary delights. Among these amazing recipes and complicated foods is a three-ingredient delight that has taken over. This delight is called Cloud Bread.
How jiggly do you want your bread?
Bread that looks fluffy and light almost seems too good to be true, but that’s exactly what you’ll have with this super fluffy creation. It can be called cute, but some people might think that’s going a little too far. Still, this bread seems like it would be easy to enjoy without spreading anything on it.
TikTok has given us several great items that you might never have thought of making. If you love dalgona coffee, pancake cereal, or items like a salmon rice bowl, cucumber salad, or frozen gummy bears, you know that trying new things can be a great way to enjoy some wonderful foods. This goes for something as simple and easy to make as Cloud Bread, which has been a true sensation on this platform.
What is this bread?
This crazy-easy bread is popular enough to have its own hashtag, where you’ll find lots of people sharing their take on it and how much they have enjoyed the bread. When made right, it turns into giant puffs of fluffy bread, but its really not a bread in the traditional sense. The three ingredients are egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch, which is essentially the same stuff you would use to make meringue.
What is meringue?
You’ve probably heard of lemon meringue pie or a macaron; if so, then you might be familiar with this item. Most of the time, it’s made with sugar and whipped egg whites. Sometimes, a binder item is added to keep it together, and in this case, that is cornstarch. This item is added to give it more structure. The cornstarch turns the traditional meringue into a thicker, bouncier, and more of a marshmallow-like substance, which has become known by another name when it has been gently baked and made crispy.
How do you make Cloud Bread?
Despite only having three ingredients, there are some steps to follow and things to know to make this easy and fluffy bread.
Start with the egg whites
You must separate the yolks from the whites. If you have any yolk in the mixture, it won’t whip up the way it should. It’s best to separate your egg whites when they are cold, but they will whip better when at room temperature. This means you should take eggs out of the fridge and separate the whites from the yolks right away so that you have them divided while they are cold. Then, you can let the egg whites sit for a bit to come to room temperature. You’ll need three large egg whites to make one recipe.
Sugar, you’ve got to have sugar
Use regular white sugar. This item will stabilize your egg whites and help them fluff up even more. The sugar will also make your cloud bread a little bit sweet. You want this bread to be sweet because it’s mostly a dessert item and can be great with another sweet treat.
Cornstarch finishes the job
You won’t need much, but a little bit of cornstarch can give your bread a shiny look and soaks up any extra liquid in the mixture. This is the final ingredient to making this bread that has been extremely popular on TikTok.
Make it colorful
Cloud bread is fun, fluffy, and cheerful. You can make it a little more cheerful by adding food coloring to the mix and allowing it to be a colorful delight that your kids will love.
What does it taste like?
If you consider the ingredients, you would expect Cloud Bread to taste mostly like air with a little sweetness to it. That’s pretty much what you have, which makes this item a good addition to something else, not a full dessert on its own. The bread is fluffy, full of tiny air bubbles, and very squishy. Will you make Cloud Bread for your family and let them enjoy the sweetness that has become a TikTok sensation?
