Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (for topping)
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 for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses are melted and can be mixed smoothly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the almond flour mixture. Mix together using a spatula, then knead with your hands until you have a cohesive dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 8-10 inches long. Shape each rope into a pretzel shape by forming a U, then crossing the ends over each other and pressing them down to seal.
Step 6
Place the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops lightly with a bit of water and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Step 7
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
