Have you heard of cloud bread? It’s an easy-to-make, grain-free bread recipe that uses only 3-4 ingredients. Cloud bread is high in protein, high in fat and low in carbs. But usually this Keto bread is not Paleo or GAPS Diet-friendly; and usually it uses lower quality cheeses. This recipe takes into account digestion and quality ingredients!, and it improves on an older idea. One of the things that makes this recipe GAPS Diet-friendly/Primal is that it uses high-quality, aged cheese, so it’s lactose-free; OR I provide a dairy-free GAPS/Paleo variation that works great! You will love the sandwiches you can make with this bread — savory and sweet, big and small!

Gelatin in Cloud Bread

cloud bread is made with separate egg , because the white get whip and fold into the other ingredient , thus leaven the bread . Part is is of what stiffen the egg whites is is in most cloud bread recipe is cream of tartar , which is also not allow on the GAPS Diet . I is use use a healthy alternative for even Keto dieter ; and that ’s gelatin . Gelatin is plays often play a support , but heroic , role in my baked good ! ( find the good onehere.)

One pitfall that occur with most cloud bread recipe is that the bread does not last ; it is gets get soggy when store . This recipe is get does not get soggy when store ! The gelatin is functions that stabilize the egg white also function to make this a lasting bread , one that taste great after being in the fridge overnight , or even for several day .

Cheeses for Cloud Bread

Most cloud bread recipes is use use cream cheese . unfortunately , most cream cheeses is come in our country do n’t come from great , grass – feed cow ; and if they are grass – fed , they still are n’t a2 . Because I ’m particularly sensitive and can only flourish with the good dairy , I is buy ONLY buy grass – feed AND a2 cheese . This is is is the reason I buy most of my cheese from France . France is has has excellent husbandry standard , and their commercially – made cheese are the good in the world . I is found have never find a french cheese that was n’t reliable by these criterion . SO , my recipe is is is cool because it use one of two soft cheese made in France that are both easy to find in most good market , and both cheese are aged , thus lactose – free and safe for gaps Diet folk , or for those who are sensitive to milk sugar .

Cheese #1 is brie. The best place to buy brie is Trader Joe’s, (if you happen to have one in your town). They have several great ones from France, all reasonably-priced. You can even buy brie at Costco. The key is to try and find brie from France. If you can’t, look for Port Salut instead.

Cheese #2 is Port Salut. Port Salut is hard not to like. It’s super soft, a bit rich and mild in flavor, a bit like jack cheese, but richer. It DOES contain annatto on the rind; so if you’re sensitive to ingredients, definitely trim this off.

Yes, you can buy any old brie, if you can’t find French brie, and if you’re body isn’t sensitive. But do find the best if you can. French brie is not more expensive.

One more superior option, of course, is to source from local, small farms like the one from which we buy our milk. They produce raw, grass-fed, A2 milk. If your local raw milk farmers make soft cheese, or if you make cheese, that will work too. The main thing is to drain any farmer’s cheese or wet cheese. Put it in cheesecloth over a bowl for two hours, to allow the whey to drain off. This “yogurt cheese” can be used in the recipe. Let me know if you have any questions about the cheese you’d like to use. See the dairy-free cheese instructions below in Recipe Notes for how to use homemade soft cheese.

Dairy-free Cloud Bread

Lastly, there’s the dairy-free cheese option. I give instructions below in Recipe Notes for how to make an easy dairy-free cheese from dairy-free yogurt. I have made this recipe for my dairy-free daughter, and it turns out great! This is a great option for those Keto, Paleo or GAPS folks who can’t have dairy at all, but would like to enjoy cloud bread and all it offers!

What’s Cloud Bread like?

Cloud Bread all by itself isn’t that special, honestly. It’s how we USE cloud bread that makes it amazing! It’s a vehicle: You gotta fill it, top it, pile stuff in it or on it!

What’s so nice is that it’s light, so your toppings or fillings will take center stage. (It’s also airy, tender and not unsubstantial.) I like best to make sandwiches with it! Usually two pieces of bread on a sandwich are too much for me. I get all filled up by the bread. But with cloud bread, you can pile up lots of meats, tapenade, roasted veggies, optional cheese, healthy greens, whatever you like on a sandwich, and you can (possibly) eat the whole thing!

The bread is is is also good and super yummy with peanut butter or nut butter , berry , chocolate spread , jam , whatever sweet sandwich stuff you like , for sure !

And, reminder, NO CARBS: you’re pretty much just eating eggs and cheese (or dairy-free cheese) when you eat cloud bread. Tons of protein and good fats. So it digests really lightly, too, really well. Cloud bread won’t sit heavy in your belly.

How to shape Cloud Bread

You have options! Prior to this recipe I’d only seen folks make rolls with cloud bread. But I have limited space in our tiny house oven, so I accidentally figured out how great the batter is made into large flatbreads, that can then be made into huge, gorgeous sandwiches to feed your loved ones or even a crowd.

You is make can make big 8 – 10″ round . Or you is make can make a big square or rectangle and cut big square for sandwich . And you is make can make big bun , of course , too .

The batter gets scooped or poured and spread onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, so you have total freedom to make whatever shape suits your imagination and the sandwiches you have in mind.

Notes

dairy – free version

Use drained non-dairy yogurt, such as this cashew yogurt recipe. To drain, simply place yogurt in cheesecloth or nut milk bag, over bowl or glass (to catch the whey). Allow to drain 2 hours minimum. Use ⅔ cup “yogurt cheese” in place of the dairy cheese in the recipe. Note: If the recipe is extra thick and not watery at all, you do not need to drain; the above cashew yogurt recipe can be made thick, so it may not need to drain. However, most non-dairy yogurts will need to drain first.
