Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 5 grams Salt
- 120 grams Butter
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 200 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 5 grams Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a thick dough forms.
Step 4
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then incorporate them into the dough, mixing until the dough is cohesive and smooth.
Step 5
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thick, maintaining a rectangular shape as much as possible.
Step 6
Cut the dough into triangles, about 3 inches wide at the base. You should be able to make about 8 triangles.
Step 7
Place a small piece of cold butter at the base of each triangle and roll up the dough starting from the base, gently forming it into a croissant shape with the tip tucked underneath.
Step 8
Arrange the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each croissant.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 10
Allow the croissants to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
