# Ingredients:
01 -
6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
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 whey protein powder (approximately 3/4 cup or 2.5 scoops)
07 -
20 grams egg white protein powder (approximately 1/4 cup)
08 -
1 tablespoon allulose (optional)
09 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for savoury version)
10 -
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for savoury version)
11 -
sesame seeds or bagel seasoning for topping (optional)
12 -
1 teaspoon vanilla stevia (optional, for French Toast version)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 150°C. Prepare a 23 x 13 cm loaf pan by lining it with parchment and lightly greasing the surface.
02 -
In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, combine egg whites and vinegar. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with cottage cheese, baking powder, salt, whey protein powder, egg white protein powder, allulose, and any optional seasonings until well blended. Alternatively, blend until smooth.
04 -
Gently fold a small portion of the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Gradually fold in the remaining yolk mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
05 -
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan. For roll shapes, use a parchment-lined baking sheet or a silicone mold pan. Optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning if desired.
06 -
Place on the middle oven shelf and bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer emerges clean from the centre.
07 -
After baking, turn off the oven but leave the bread inside for 10 additional minutes without opening the door.
08 -
Slice and enjoy warm, toasted, or cooled for sandwiches. Store according to best practices for high-protein cloud bread.
# Notes:
01 -
For a savoury version, add garlic powder and onion powder; for a sweeter option or French toast, omit these and use vanilla stevia.
02 -
If shaping as rolls, bake 8 portions at 150°C for 20–25 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 -
Allowing the bread to rest in the closed oven prevents collapse and ensures a stable crumb structure.
