Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons 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 microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Add the melted cheeses to the almond flour mixture and mix well until a dough forms.

Step 5

Add the beaten eggs to the dough and mix until fully incorporated. The dough should be tacky but not overly sticky.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 15 inches in length. Form each rope into a pretzel shape.

Step 7

Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Step 8

Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 9

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Bavarian pretzels warm!
