Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 unit large egg
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon 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 microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds until cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

Step 5

Combine the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 6

Add the egg to the mixture and knead with hands until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands slightly to make kneading easier.

Step 7

Divide the dough into four equal portions, then roll each into a long rope (about 12 inches long).

Step 8

Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the nuggets.

Step 9

In a large skillet, bring 2 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.

Step 10

Working in batches, drop the pretzel nuggets into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Sprinkle the nuggets with coarse sea salt.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Soft Pretzel Nuggets!
