Keto Cloud Loaf (Printable Version)
Super soft loaf built from cottage cheese, eggs, and some protein powder. Great pick for quick low-carb snacks or sandwich fixes.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
6 large eggs at room temp, split whites from yolks
02 -
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar or cream of tartar
03 -
113 grams cottage cheese
04 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
06 -
62 grams of whey protein powder (roughly 3/4 cup or about 2 and a half scoops)
07 -
Tblsp allulose if you’re feeling it, but you can skip
08 -
A sprinkle of garlic powder (totally not required, nice if you want a savory kick)
09 -
A dash of onion powder (wouldn’t hurt for savory bread, but it’s extra)
10 -
20 grams of egg white protein powder (about a quarter cup)
11 -
Toss on sesame or bagel toppers, only if you want
12 -
Use a teaspoon of vanilla stevia if you dig a sweet, French toast vibe, or just leave it out
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 150°C. Set out a 23x13 cm loaf pan, layer with parchment, grease just a tad.
02 -
With your stand or electric mixer, beat egg whites plus vinegar until you get stiff peaks. This can take 10-15 minutes. Set aside for now.
03 -
Next bowl, dump in yolks, both protein powders, cottage cheese, salt, baking powder, anything sweet or savory you like. Whisk or blend it until smooth as you like it.
04 -
Scoop some yolk mix over to the whites, fold gently. Do the rest little by little, softly so you don’t squish the fluff. Don’t over mix, just until it comes together.
05 -
Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Want buns? Use a baking tray and spoon out rounds or use silicone molds. Throw some toppings on if you’re into that.
06 -
Stick it in the oven, right in the center. Bake until the top is golden and a tester comes out dry-ish, about 50 minutes usually.
07 -
Turn the oven off and keep the bread inside, door closed, so it can relax a bit (don’t open it) for 10 minutes.
08 -
Slice once it's ready. Eat toasted, warm, sandwich style, whatever you want. Store it just like your favorite protein bread.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Go for onion and garlic powders for savory, stick with vanilla stevia if you’re after a sweeter taste.
02 -
Want buns instead? Make 8 scoops onto a tray with parchment, bake for 20-25 minutes at 150°C.
03 -
Letting it cool in the off oven keeps it from shrinking and leaves the inside fluffy.
