Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Baking soda
• 3 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

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, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Quickly stir the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and knead the mixture with your hands or a sturdy spatula until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 18 inches) and shape it into a traditional pretzel shape by forming a U, crossing the ends, and folding them down onto the bottom loop.

Step 6

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, then stir in the baking soda. Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently lower each pretzel into the water for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle generously with kosher salt.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb German brezel fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
