Cloud Bread

Cloud Bread is a sweet, puffy treat that’s fun to make with — and for — the littles in your life! It starts with four simple pantry staples mixed together and shaped into a dome. Then watch as it magically rises in the oven. Be sure to pause for ooohs and aaahs from the kiddos, and have a camera ready to capture their wide-eyed wonder. If the beige color leaves you uninspired, add a few drops of food coloring. Cloud Bread tastes like marshmallow cotton candy — and neither the young nor the young at heart can resist that.
