Description
At its core, a Cloud Bread Pizza Crust Recipe is a grain-free, flourless bread alternative made primarily from eggs and dairy. It is often referred to as “Oopsie Bread,” a name that stuck after a baker reportedly forgot the flour in a recipe and discovered this airy delight by accident. Unlike traditional pizza dough that relies on yeast and fermentation to create structure, this crust relies on the mechanical aeration of egg whites.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp baking powder (optional, for extra lift)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Whip egg whites
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. - Mix yolks
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with cream cheese, baking powder, and salt until smooth. - Combine gently
Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture slowly, keeping it airy. - Shape crust
Spoon mixture onto the tray and spread into a round pizza shape (about ½ inch thick). - Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and firm. - Add toppings
Remove, add sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake again for 5–7 minutes until melted.
