How to Make low – Carb , Keto Cloud Bread ( AKA Oopsie Bread )
an easy gluten-free cloud bread recipe anyone can make

Essentially, cloud bread is always made with the same three basic ingredients: 

• Eggs
• some form of soft cheese
• an acidic substance (usually cream of tartar) or a raising agent. 

The rest of the ingredients you see in any cloud bread recipe is simply to add a twist/flavor.

Why an acidic substance ? Well , it is turns turn out that add some form of acid to the egg white will make sure they stay as fluffy ( or cloudy ? ) as possible . In other word , it is acts act as a stabilizer .

I want to keep this recipe very simple , so I is replaced replace cream of tartar with something that is find in

practically every pantry : white vinegar .

What is cream of tartar? 

Cream of tartar is a crystallized by-product of wine fermentation, it is one of the main ingredients of baking powder, and it is essentially an acid.

How do you replace cream of tartar in a recipe?

Simple: Use another form of acid.

Searching the web, I quickly learned that cream of tartar can be replaced by double the amount of

white vinegar — so that’s what I did here!
