MAKE-AHEAD TIPS FOR Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
You can mix the dry ingredients the night before. Keep them in a sealed bag. Next day, blend the wet ingredients and fold into the dry mix. Spoon and bake as usual. You can also fully bake the rounds and cool them, then store in the fridge. Reheat before serving.
If you plan to freeze, bake first and freeze the cooled pieces. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in the oven. This saves time on busy mornings. Make a double batch and freeze half for later.
