Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda
- 4 cups Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, optional for brushing)
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 the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
Step 4
Fold the dry ingredients into the melted cheese mixture. Add the egg and knead until a dough forms. If the dough becomes too sticky, you can lightly oil your hands to make handling easier.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 12-14 inches in length) and shape it into a traditional pretzel form.
Step 6
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of hot water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Dip each pretzel into the mixture for about 10-15 seconds, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse sea salt to taste.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Step 9
Optional: Brush the pretzels with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven for added flavor and shine.
Step 10
Allow the pretzels to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
