Viral Cloud Bread With Texas Roadhouse Butter

By Ayah Hassan, Staff Writer

TikTok’s viral cloud bread is trending, but how many of us have actually tried to make it? I’ve always wondered: how does it taste? Is it difficult to make? How long will it really take? Is it worth it? Well, today I put my inquiries to the test and tried the recipe. To make it even better, I tried a Texas Roadhouse butter copycat recipe to go with it.

The recipe I chose to use was supposed to make one loaf, so I decided to double the recipe and split it into six loaves. I preheated my oven to 300 degrees and began by placing six egg whites into the hand mixer, turning it on, and letting it run until the bubbles began to form. I then added five tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of flour (since I didn’t have corn starch). 

Again, I turned on the hand mixture and kept it on until it reached an almost fluffy consistency. Once I felt that it was almost done being mixed, I added red and blue food coloring to make the cloud bread purple. Finally, after mixing it for a little longer, the mixture was ready. 

I split the mixture into six and placed it into the oven for 25 minutes- and here’s where I made my biggest mistake. I would soon realize that instead of fluffy cloud bread, it was more flat. The mistake I made was opening the oven before it was done to check on it. Regardless of its lack of fluff, I still thought the cloud bread was pretty good, even though it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be.I noticed that it had a very egg-y taste to it (probably because the main ingredient is egg whites), and this led me to the conclusion that cloud bread would make a pretty good breakfast food. 

When the Cloud Bread was cooling on the counter, I began to make the Texas Roadhouse Butter. I added half a cup of softened butter, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, two tablespoons of honey, and two tablespoons of powdered sugar to the hand mixer. I mixed them together, and once it was done I put it in a jar.

I have to say, the butter was a great touch to the Cloud Bread. It was creamy, sweet, and I’d say it went well with the fluffy egginess of the Cloud bread. 

Overall, I’m glad I tried out this recipe. Although I’m not sure if I would try it again, it was fun to attempt. I can’t wait to try more recipes like this and I definitely recommend trying it out for yourself.
