Ingredients
- Liquid Egg Whites — 240 ml — Provides the structural liquid base that whips into a voluminous, cloud-like meringue.
- Unflavored Egg White Powder — 45 g — Stabilizes the foam and supplies the necessary dry protein to mimic a true bread crumb.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the liquid egg whites and unflavored egg white powder in a large, grease-free mixing bowl.
- Whip the mixture using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped foam gently into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top loosely with a silicone spatula.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the loaf is tall, deep golden brown, and firm to the touch.
- Cool completely inside the pan set on a wire rack before turning out and slicing.
Tips for the Best Zero-Carb Bread
To ensure your loaf reaches maximum height without deflating, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely free of oil or grease before whipping. Resist the urge to open the oven door during the first 25 minutes of baking, as sudden temperature drops can cause the protein structure to collapse.
Storage and Freezing
Store sliced bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, flash-freeze individual slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Toast slices directly from frozen for optimal texture.
Zero-Carb Bread Your Way
- Garlic Herb Loaf: Gently fold in 2 g of garlic powder and 1 g of dried Italian herbs after whipping.
- Savory Cheese Crust: Sprinkle 15 g of finely grated hard parmesan over the top just before placing in the oven.
- Everything Bagel Style: Top the unbaked loaf with 5 g of everything bagel seasoning.
Make Ahead
This bread is an ideal candidate for weekly meal preparation. Slice the loaf only after it has cooled completely to room temperature, then divide it into single-serving portions so you can grab and toast a slice whenever mealtime arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bread taste overly eggy?
Using unflavored egg white powder alongside liquid whites creates a neutral flavor profile that closely resembles white sandwich bread rather than an omelet.
Can I substitute gelatin or collagen for the egg white powder?
No, egg white powder contains specific proteins required to build a sturdy structure when baked. Collagen will melt and cause the bread to collapse.
