Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 4 cups boiling water

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 shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds until the mixture is completely melted and combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together.

Step 4

Add the flour mixture and beaten egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. You might need to knead it with your hands to ensure it's smooth and uniform.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 8 inches long and tie into a knot.

Step 6

In a large bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water.

Step 7

Dip each pretzel knot into the boiling water mixture for 5-10 seconds, then remove and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the knots with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pretzel knots to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture.
