Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon 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 medium bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses melt and mix together when stirred. Stir them to form a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Crack the egg into the bowl and continue to mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly with your hands to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 10 inches in length. Shape each rope into a pretzel shape by forming a loop with ends that cross over, then tuck the ends under the loop.

Step 6

Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush the tops of each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Pfefferbrezel warm!
