NOTES
1. Do I need to drain cottage cheese? Only if it’s watery. Do the spoon test: if liquid pools, drain 5–10 minutes.
2. Stiff peaks. Glossy foam, peaks stand straight, no watery puddle. If it’s soft, keep whipping.
3. Grease and whipped whites aren't a match. Use clean, grease-free bowls and beaters.
4. Don’t over-fold Fold gently until just combined. Overmixing knocks out the air and makes flat clouds.
5. Don’t open the oven early Wait until the end so the cloud breads can set properly.
6. Storage
Cloud bread is best fresh. If you store it, it softens—totally normal.
- Fridge: airtight, 1–2 days
- To re-crisp: warm briefly in a toaster oven/oven until the outside feels drier again
