Step-by-Step Method
- Prepare the Egg Whites
- Separate cold eggs, allowing whites to reach room temperature. Use spotlessly clean equipment. Begin beating slowly, increasing speed gradually. Add cream of tartar at foam stage. Continue until stiff peaks form.
- Create the Base
- Process cottage cheese until silky. Beat egg yolks until light. Combine with cottage cheese, honey, and salt. Incorporate cornstarch if using.
- Combine Mixtures
- Fold one-third of whites into base mixture. Add remaining whites in two batches using gentle, figure-eight motions. Mix just until incorporated.
- Incorporate Berries
- Use thoroughly dried fresh berries or frozen ones directly from freezer. Distribute evenly with minimal folding.
Success with cloud bread comes from understanding proper egg white technique. Practice and attention to detail yield consistently light, airy results.
Temperature Guidelines
For maximum volume, allow all ingredients to reach room temperature before beginning. This typically requires 60 minutes of counter time.
