Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup baking soda
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons 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 large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until melted and combined, stirring in between each interval.

Step 4

Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with two beaten eggs. Mix well until a dough forms. Knead with hands if necessary to fully combine.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 18 inches long and shape into a pretzel.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, one at a time, briefly dip each pretzel into the boiling baking soda water for about 10-15 seconds. Remove and drain well.

Step 8

Place the pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Laugenbrezel!
