Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for another 30 seconds until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using).
Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Add the egg and knead the dough until smooth and well combined. You may find it easier to use your hands for this step.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12 inches long.
Shape each rope into a pretzel by forming a U shape, then crossing the ends over each other and pressing into the bottom of the U.
Place the shaped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel lightly with melted butter and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on the tops.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto baked soft pretzels warm!
