Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Baking soda
- 8 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheeses and the egg to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 18 inches in length.
Form each rope into a traditional pretzel shape by creating a U-shape and then crossing the ends over each other, gently pressing down.
In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda. It will bubble up; be cautious.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, and using a slotted spoon, dip each pretzel into the baking soda bath for 10-15 seconds, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
