Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
• 2 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth.

Step 3

Add shredded mozzarella to the melted butter and cream cheese, stirring until completely melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.

Step 5

Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 6

Beat 1 egg and fold it into the dough until well incorporated.

Step 7

Lightly dust a surface with almond flour, and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 10x15 inches.

Step 8

Cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle into a crescent shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

In a large bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 2 cups of warm water. Dip each croissant quickly in the baking soda solution, then return to the baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the croissants with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
