The Secret To Making Vegan Cloud Bread

Traditional cloud bread recipes use egg whites to get that fluffy, airy texture. So, my challenge was to find a perfect egg substitute that would mimic those properties of egg whites. After several attempts (and a couple of hours of research), I finally discovered the secret: aquafaba.

What is Aquafaba And Why Aquafaba?

Aquafaba is the starchy liquid found in a can of chickpeas, and it’s a game-changer for vegan baking! This magical ingredient mimics the properties of egg whites, making it perfect for achieving that fluffy cloud bread texture. When whipped, aquafaba forms stiff peaks, just like eggs, giving the bread its airy texture and delicate structure. It’s a fantastic alternative for those following a low-carb diet, avoiding eggs due to dietary restrictions, or simply looking for a great option in plant-based recipes. Plus, it’s a sustainable choice—why waste the liquid when you can turn it into something delicious?

Now, let’s get into the details so you can make your own fluffy cloud bread at home.

Ingredients for Vegan Cloud Bread

To achieve that traditional delicate texture, we need to swap out a few traditional cloud bread ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (helps form stiff peaks)
• 1/4 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for a non-gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon almond butter (for a hint of healthy fat)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (if making a savory version)
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning (optional for extra flavor)
• Or Replace garlic powder and italian seasoning with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a sweet version)

Equipment You’ll Need:

• Hand mixer or electric mixer (to whip the aquafaba to stiff peaks)
• Stainless steel or glass mixing bowls (plastic bowls can retain oil, making it harder to whip)
• Prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper
• Stand mixer (optional, but helpful for whipping)

Step-By-Step Vegan Cloud Bread Recipe

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line prepared baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: Whip the Aquafaba

In a separate bowl, add aquafaba and cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Fold in the Dry Ingredients

Gently fold in almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and salt. If making a sweet version, swap out the savory seasonings for vanilla extract.

Step 4: Shape & Bake

Using a spoon, drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, shaping into small rounds. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra texture. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Cool & Store

Let them cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. This prevents them from deflating.
