A light and airy Cloud Bread Pizza that offers a low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crusts, made primarily from whipped egg whites and cornstarch. Topped with classic pizza sauce, melted cheese, and olives, this single-serving recipe bakes quickly for a delicious, fluffy pizza experience perfect for a quick meal or snack.

Ingredients

Cloud Bread Base

  • 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside for preparing the cloud bread base.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, add the room temperature egg whites. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they reach medium peaks consistency. This aeration is key to achieving the fluffy texture of the cloud bread.
  3. Add Cornstarch and Herbs: Gradually add the cornstarch while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then fold in the Italian herbs and salt gently to evenly distribute the flavor without deflating the mixture.
  4. Shape and Bake Crust: Transfer the whipped egg white mixture onto the lined baking tray. Using the back of a spoon, shape it into a circular pizza base. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden on top and set.
  5. Add Toppings and Melt Cheese: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, sprinkle shredded cheese and olives on top. Lightly spray the crust with cooking spray to help crisp it up, then return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts perfectly.
  6. Serve: Once baked, remove the cloud bread pizza from the oven, slice it into desired portions, and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for optimal whipping volume.
  • Be careful not to deflate the egg whites when folding in the cornstarch and herbs.
  • You can customize toppings as preferred, keeping them light to maintain the crust’s fragile structure.
  • Cooking spray helps achieve a crispier crust after reheating with toppings.
  • Consume immediately for a soft and fluffy texture; the crust may become less airy when refrigerated.
