Ingredients

  • 3 pieces Egg Whites (separated from yolks, room temperature)
  • 40 g Granulated Sugar (fine white sugar)
  • 10 g Cornstarch (sifted)
  • 2 drops Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla extract)
  • 2 drops Food Coloring (blue (optional, adjust for desired intensity))
  • 1 sheet Parchment Paper (cut to fit baking tray)

Instructions

  1. Separate Egg Whites

    Crack three eggs and carefully scoop out the yolks, discarding or reserving them. Place the three egg whites in a clean mixing bowl.

    Time: PT2M

  2. Whip Egg Whites Lightly

    Start the hand mixer on low speed and whisk the egg whites until they become frothy.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Add Sugar and Cornstarch Gradually

    With the mixer on medium speed, add a small portion of the sugar and a pinch of cornstarch. Continue adding the remaining sugar and cornstarch a little at a time, allowing each addition to incorporate before adding more.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Add Vanilla Extract

    Drop two drops of vanilla extract into the mixture and continue mixing.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Whisk to Stiff Peaks

    Increase the mixer speed to high and whisk until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.

    Time: PT4M

  6. Incorporate Food Coloring

    Add two drops of blue food coloring (or desired color) and gently fold with the spatula until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT1M

  7. Prepare Baking Tray

    Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spatula, scoop the meringue onto the tray and shape it into a rough circular cake about 5 cm high.

    Time: PT3M

  8. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Place the tray in the middle rack and bake for 25‑28 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the interior looks set.

    Time: PT27M

    Temperature: 180°C

  9. Cool and Serve

    Remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Slice in half to reveal the pastel interior and serve.

    Time: PT5M
