How to make cloud bread

To start, we will use 4 eggs at room temperature so that the whites mount better. We will need two large bowls, one for the whites and one for the yolks. We separate the whites from the yolks very carefully so that no yolk falls into the whites or they will not mount well. Beat the egg whites until stiff with ½ teaspoon of salt and with the help of some rods until they are firm. Next, we add ½ teaspoon of baking soda and continue to assemble until the baking soda is well mixed.

On the other hand, to the bowl with the 4 yolks we add 110 g of cream cheese and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

We beat these ingredients well until there are no lumps. We can take advantage of this moment to preheat the oven so that it is at the right temperature at the time of putting the loaves.

Add the whipped egg whites to the yolks with cheese. We will do it little by little so as not to lose the airy texture of the whites. Thus, we will start with a single tablespoon and mix little by little.

From this moment we already incorporate the rest of the whites mounted little by little and with enveloping movements.

Prepare a tray suitable for the oven and line it with baking paper. We make 6 regular piles with the cloud bread dough, trying to leave space between the loaves.

Bake the cloud bread at 180 ºC, with heat above and below, for 30 minutes. Once done, we wait for them to cool down a bit before removing them from the baking paper.
