How to Make Mascarpone Cloud Bread:

Step 1: Prep the Batter
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In one bowl, whisk the egg yolks, mascarpone cheese, baking powder, salt, and honey (if using) until smooth.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This is what gives the bread its airy texture.

Step 3: Fold Gently
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, using a spatula to combine without deflating the batter.

Step 4: Shape & Bake
Spoon the mixture onto the lined baking sheet in round, cloud-like mounds. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5: Cool & Enjoy
Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Serving Suggestions:

• Sweet Option: Drizzle with honey, jam, or Nutella.
• Savory Option: Top with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or avocado.
• As a Sandwich: Use it as a bun for a light, low-carb sandwich.

Tips for Perfect Cloud Bread:

• Whip Egg Whites Properly – Stiff peaks are essential for an airy texture.
• Fold Gently – Overmixing will deflate the batter.
• Store Properly – Keep in an airtight container to maintain softness.

Storing & Reheating:

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a bag for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
