This fluffy cloud bread (also known as "oopsie bread") is made with five ingredients and is the perfect keto bread. You can use it in sandwiches, burgers, and even desserts!
The best thing about cloud bread is the amazing aroma that fills your kitchen when you bake it. It smells like real bread baking in your oven! The second: Thanks to this bread, you can comfortably hold hamburgers (such as turkey burgers or grilled hamburgers) in your hands (no need for a knife and a fork!) and make delicious low-carb sandwiches.
Ingredients
See the recipe card for exact measurements. Here are my comments on the ingredients.
- Nonstick cooking spray: Used for greasing the pan.
- Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, including this one.
- Cream of tartar: This ingredient is used as a stabilizer in recipes that contain whipped egg whites.
- Plain Greek yogurt: I use full-fat yogurt.
- Salt: Just a pinch (⅛ teaspoon).
Variations
- You can substitute other creamy ingredients for the Greek yogurt, including sour cream, softened cream cheese, or mayonnaise.
- When I make this bread for burgers, like I did today, I like to sprinkle sesame seeds on top. It looks pretty and makes for a more authentic hamburger bun look.
- When I make this bread for sandwiches, I sprinkle it with Everything but the Bagel seasoning before baking.
- To make a sweet version, add a granulated or powdered sweetener equal to 2 tablespoons of sugar to the whipped egg whites. You can also add ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the yolk/yogurt mixture.
Instructions
The detailed instructions and step-by-step photos are included in the recipe card. Here's a quick overview.
Separate the eggs into two bowls - egg whites in one bowl, yolks in the second. Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Mix the yolks with Greek yogurt and salt. Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
Spoon mounds of the mixture onto two parchment-lined baking sheets. Gently flatten them.
Bake the bread in a 300°F oven until golden brown, for about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
Delicious and easy. Perfect for burgers. The sesame seeds on top are a must!

Delicious and easy. Perfect for burgers. The sesame seeds on top are a must!Recipe Tips
- Fat interferes with whipping egg whites. Please ensure there's no yolk mixed into the egg whites, and use a thoroughly clean and dry bowl and whisks to whip them.
- The cream of tartar helps stabilize the whipped egg whites, so I highly recommend using it. You can usually find it in the spice aisle in any supermarket.
- Folding egg whites is a technique that incorporates whipped egg whites into a thicker mixture (such as a cake batter or, in our case, a yolk/yogurt mixture) without breaking the tiny air bubbles that make them fluffy and airy.
The technique involves placing a mound of whipped egg whites on the thicker mixture and using a spatula to repeatedly scoop the thicker mixture and fold it over the whipped egg whites. When this mound has been incorporated into the batter, add another mound of egg whites. Unlike stirring, this technique ensures that the batter remains airy and fluffy.
Recipe FAQs
It's not exactly difficult, but any recipe that requires separating eggs, whipping the egg whites, and carefully folding them into a batter is somewhat complex and requires patience.
This 90-second keto bread is easier. However, cloud bread is the best low-carb bread alternative I have found, so the effort involved in making it is worth it, in my opinion.
No. Cloud bread is fluffy and delicious, but it's not true bread - it is softer and spongier, and its texture resembles a thick, savory crepe. The photo below shows you its spongy texture on the inside.
Its texture IS similar to spongy hamburger buns, so, even though it's not exactly bread, it does fill the need to serve a burger on a bun or make a sandwich. 
The name "cloud" reflects its airy, fluffy texture. It's sometimes called "oopsie" bread because it was supposedly made by mistake. But what a fortunate mistake that was!
Cloud bread becomes soggy when stored in the fridge. However, once it's cooled, you can freeze it for up to three months, its layers separated with wax paper squares, and gently thaw it in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
This bread's flavor is neutral, so it can go with savory dishes such as sandwiches and burgers, as shown in the photo below:
Or, you can use it for dessert. For example, you can use it to make a keto strawberry shortcake. And similar to crepes, you can fill two pieces of this bread with whipped cream and berries.
It's also perfect for breakfast. I like it with butter and a slice of cheddar, with cream cheese and smoked salmon, or with almond butter. You can also top it with eggs, such as these fluffy scrambled eggs.

Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3 large eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt - plain, whole milk
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray them with nonstick spray.
- Separate the eggs into two bowls: whites in a medium bowl and yolks in a large bowl.
- Using an electric whisk, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff.
- Whisk the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, and salt until smooth.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, working in batches. Work by placing a mound of egg whites on top of the yolk mixture, then gently fold the yolk mixture from under and over the egg whites. Fold again and again until incorporated.
- Repeat with more egg white mounds until the entire mixture is fully incorporated.
- Using a ¼ cup ice cream scoop or measuring cup, spoon 5-6 large mounds of the mixture onto each of the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently press each mound with a spatula to flatten it slightly.
- Bake until golden brown and set, about 30 minutes. Cool the bread pieces on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Alternatively, you can use them while still warm.
