I have had a love-hate relationship with making cloud bread. Seems in the past every time I attempted to make these ‘low carb’ buns they flopped and failed —until now! My research and patience have paid off and I now know how easy these adorable little pieces of heaven can be. Next time I make them I will try larger loafs and/or small chip like versions, but these buns are delish the way they are none the less. The kids even loved having them with deli meat and a little…
