This is the best low carb cottage cheese cloud bread that has 9 grams of protein and just 1 gram carbohydrates per slice! The next time you want to make a keto bread, try this satisfying cottage cheese cloud bread! Be sure to read my blog post that shares the best uses of the 4 different types of keto cloud bread recipes!

WHAT IS CLOUD BREAD?

If you're following a ketogenic diet or low-carb diet, you know exactly what this great recipe is! Cloud bread has been around for a long time on the internet and for good reason.

Long before both TikTok and the keto diet existed, there was another popular trend: the Atkins diet. Dr. Robert Atkins launched the low carb diet in the 1960s.

The Atkins diet became so popular that Dr. Atkins himself rolled out a recipe book in 1972 for followers to try out some low-carb options at home. One of the most popular was the recipe for Atkins Diet Revolution Rolls: a fluffy bread, yet flimsy alternative with the main ingredients being eggs, sugar substitute, and cream cheese.

You may have all ready tried the orginial recipe of cloud bread and wasn't quite thrilled or satisfied with the texture. It does tends to be light and have an airy texture, but eggy and moist and not at all like a piece of regular bread to make a sandwich with.

The kids and I hated the fact that upon the first bite, it was stuck to the roof of your mouth and all we tasted was the cream cheese. So I wasn't that impressed,
The rolls, often called oopsie bread rolls or sandwich buns are great for burgers or sandwiches if you don't mind that cream cheese cloud bread taste.

It's one of the easiest ways to enjoy "bread" without all the carbs. This easy recipe makes rolls or a loaf.

I had to change the original recipe the first time I made it. That's what I did back in 2016, I first published my adaption to the fluffy Cloud Bread recipe including whey protein powder to provide a bit more substance.

I removed the traditional cream cheese mixture and used sour cream instead. It produced a fluffy cloud keto bread recipe like no other!

If you see the use of protein powder in cloud bread anywhere else, you know it was first published by me in 2016, so all others are copycats.

Cottage Cheese Breads

If you happen to be on tik tok and have seen the 2-ingredient cottage cheese bread, you will see it uses just liquid egg whites and cottage cheese though some other cottage cheese bread recipes actually use bread flour or all purpose flour and are NOT keto friendly or gluten free.

Always check the ingredients on tiktok- make the ones that don't include regular refined flours and sugar because there are a ton of content creators who care nothing about using quality ingredients for keto and are just looking for a quick viral video for themselves.

CAN I SWAP THE WHEY PROTEIN POWDER?

The whey protein powder acts like gluten would in baked gluten-free alternatives. It not only provides a great fluffy texture, it helps give the bread height and lift and a nice bite!

If you can't use whey protein, look at the other bread options I've listed below that don't include whey.

BEST COTTAGE CHEESE BRANDS

Full-fat cottage cheese is best, either 4% or 2% cottage cheese will yield the best results.

You can find many options for cottage cheese at your local grocery store, but specific brands vary in taste and texture.

I don't recommend fat free cottage cheese because it won't be as satisfying as full fat cottage cheese or as creamy. I like to use lactose free cottage cheese since my daughter and I both have lactose intolerance.

The brand I like best is Green Valley organic, but the Lactaid brand is also a great brand as is, the Good Culture brand.

Can I swap cottage cheese in keto breads?

If you really don't want to try using cottage cheese, you could swap it with ricotta cheese but please note, you will add more fat, more calories and more carbs, but it's just about the same as far as protein.

How to use the 4 different types of Cloud Bread

All of these low carb cloud bread recipes are high protein and have anywhere from 8 grams of protein to 10 grams.

HOW TO STORE KETO CLOUD BREAD Recipe

Once your loaf has cooked and cooled completely, slice into 12 slices.

The best way to store is in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or you can lay slices between pieces of parchment paper then in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Take a piece or two out of the freezer and toast!

Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread Rolls

You can turn this loaf recipe into rolls by placing the batter into a hamburger silicone mold. I filled them to the top and sprinkled sesame seeds on top as well.

Baked for 25 minutes but the tops were still a bit wet though they looked browned. I removed them from the mold and placed them upside down, so tops would cook better, onto parchment lined baking sheet pan and baked for another 5 minutes.

If you don't have a silicone mold you can place the batter onto a parchment lined baking sheet pan but as you can see from the pictures, the rolls will be much flatter, first picture below and the one on the right above it.

Makes a total of 8 large rolls.

Author: Brenda Bennett | Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

6 large eggs separated, room temperature
½ teaspoon white vinegar or cream of tartar
4 ounces cottage cheese or 113 grams
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup whey protein powder or 2.5 scoops or 62 grams
¼ cup egg white protein powder or 20 grams
1 tablespoon Allulose optional
½ teaspoon optional: ¼ teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder For savory bread only, skip for French Toast
Optional: top with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning.
1 teaspoon optional: vanilla stevia for French Toast

Instructions

Preheat oven at 300 degrees F.
Place your egg whites in a stand mixer or electric hand mixer with vinegar and whip until stiff peaks. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
Place the egg yolks in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and whisk and stir well to combine. You can also just add these ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Fold in a small amount of egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture a little at a time until it's all incorporated.
Pour this into a parchment lined and greased 9 by 5 loaf pan. If making rolls, use a parchment-lined baking sheet pan or this silicone mold pan.
Bake on the middle shelf of oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer stick in the center comes out clean and it's golden brown.
(See notes above if you are making rolls, cooking time changes.)
Shut the oven off but do not open the door and allow it to stay 10 more minutes in the oven.
Enjoy warm, toasted with a little butter or cooled and used for a sandwich!
See storage instructions above.

Notes

If you decide to make these as rolls you should get 8 and the nutrition info is doubled.

PLEASE NOTE: When making these as rolls and not as a loaf, the cooking time will only be 20-25 minutes if baked on a parchment lined baking sheet pan and not in a silicone mold. If baking in a mold see my notes above.

The cloud bread recipe with sour cream was published first on 2016 and updated and improved in 2021. This cottage cheese cloud bread loaf is adapted from the original in 2016.
