Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Baking soda
• 8 cups Water
• 2 teaspoons Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the melted cheeses and the egg to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 18 inches in length.

Step 6

Form each rope into a traditional pretzel shape by creating a U-shape and then crossing the ends over each other, gently pressing down.

Step 7

In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda. It will bubble up; be cautious.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to a simmer, and using a slotted spoon, dip each pretzel into the baking soda bath for 10-15 seconds, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse sea salt.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and firm.

Step 11

Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
