Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.
In a separate large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and melted butter and cream cheese mixture. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and easily combinable.
Stir the melted mixture until smooth. Swiftly add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture and begin kneading the dough by hand until fully combined.
Incorporate the egg into the dough, mixing thoroughly until the dough becomes sticky but holds together well.
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and flatten it slightly. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut the flattened dough into triangles to form the croissant shape. Gently roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end to shape into croissants.
Place the shaped croissants onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Brush the tops of each croissant with this egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the croissants to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious keto-friendly croissants!
