Light Airy Gluten-Free Bread (Print-Friendly Format)

Low-carb, keto-friendly bread: fluffy, light, and simple to make with just a few ingredients.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Basic Ingredients

01 - 3 large eggs, separated
02 - 3 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
03 - ¼ tsp baking powder
04 - ¼ tsp cream of tartar, optional (helps stabilize egg whites)
05 - Salt to taste, optional

→ Optional Flavor Additions

06 - Herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano
07 - Garlic powder for savory bread
08 - Sweetener such as stevia or monk fruit for sweeter bread
09 - Cinnamon for a sweet version
10 - Grated parmesan cheese for a cheesy twist

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Carefully separate egg whites from yolks into two separate bowls. Ensure no yolk gets into the whites.
03 - Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed. Add cream of tartar if using. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
04 - In the bowl with egg yolks, add the softened cream cheese and baking powder. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add salt or other seasonings if desired.
05 - Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain airiness and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into rounds about 4-5 inches in diameter, creating 6-8 pieces depending on the desired size.
07 - Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. The bread should feel light when picked up.
08 - Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. The bread will firm up slightly while cooling.

# Additional Information:

01 - Ensure absolutely no yolk contaminates the egg whites for proper results.
02 - Soften cream cheese for 10-15 minutes before using to ensure smooth blending.
03 - Gently fold egg whites to maintain airiness rather than stirring.
04 - Add seasonings to the egg yolk mixture for even flavor distribution.
05 - Keep bread pieces similar in size for consistent baking.
