The cream of tartar is my secret weapon in this recipe. I once made cloud bread without it and while still delicious, the structure was noticeably less stable. This tiny pinch makes all the difference in creating that perfect airy texture that holds together when bitten into.

Perfect Pairings
For sweet applications, I love spreading almond butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon on the cinnamon variant or creating strawberry shortcake-style desserts with whipped cream and fresh berries. The neutral flavor profile adapts beautifully to whatever direction you take it.
Troubleshooting Tips
For bread that spreads too much while baking, your mixture might have been too loose. Try whipping the egg whites longer or adding an extra pinch of cream of tartar. If the bread sticks to the parchment, make sure to let it cool completely before attempting to remove it.
