Cloud Bread Ingredients- 90g Egg Whites (approx. 3 large egg whites)
- 30g Sugar (granulated or raw sugar)
- 10g Cornstarch (sifted)
- 1-2 drops Blue Food Coloring (or your preferred color)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a clean, dry bowl, add the 90g of egg whites. Begin whisking with an electric mixer on the lowest speed until foamy. Mix slowly until you achieve a generous amount of foam. Be careful, as high speeds can cause the foam to collapse quickly.
Step 2
Gradually add the 30g of sugar in 2-3 additions, increasing the mixer speed to medium-high. Whip until stiff, glossy peaks form (a ‘stiff peak’ stage). When you lift the whisk, the tip of the peak should curl slightly but still hold its shape.
Step 3
Sift the 10g of cornstarch over the meringue. Gently fold it in using a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over to avoid deflating the meringue. Mix just until no dry powder is visible, as overmixing can cause the meringue to collapse.
Step 4
Add 1-2 drops of blue food coloring onto the meringue. Gently mix on low speed just enough to create a subtle pastel blue hue. Avoid adding too much coloring, as it can make the bread texture gritty. Adjust the amount carefully to achieve your desired color.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet. Spoon or pipe the blue meringue mixture onto the prepared sheet, forming cloud-like shapes. Imagine fluffy clouds and stack them loosely for a more charming appearance.
Step 6
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently smooth the surface of the meringue shapes. Aim for a slightly rounded, puffy look rather than a flat surface, which will give the bread more dimension after baking.
Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 25-30 minutes. Baking time can vary depending on your oven. Perform a skewer test to ensure the inside is fully cooked. The bread should be lightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. (Oven temperature and humidity may need adjustment based on your specific oven.)
Step 8
Enjoy the cloud bread as is, or dust with powdered sugar. It’s also delicious served with fruit jam. Pair it with a warm cup of tea or milk for a delightful treat!
