Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large fresh eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Flavorings

  • A pinch of garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh chopped herbs like rosemary or chives (optional)
  • Dash of paprika or cumin (optional)
  • A few drops of vanilla extract and cinnamon (for sweet version, optional)
  • Shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Blend the Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and well mixed to create a uniform batter that will puff nicely in the oven.
  3. Add Baking Powder and Salt: Gently fold in the baking powder and salt without overmixing to maintain the batter’s airiness.
  4. Portion and Shape the Dough: Use a spoon to scoop dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into rounds or ovals about 3-4 inches wide.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Puffy: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cloud bread is golden brown on top and set in the center. Allow them to cool slightly before handling.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and rise.
  • Fold in dry ingredients gently to keep the batter airy and light.
  • Bake at a consistent 350°F (175°C) to cook evenly without drying out.
  • Let the breads cool a few minutes before serving to firm up for easier handling.
  • Customize with herbs, spices, or cheese for added flavor variations.
