Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1.75 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and can be stirred together.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. The dough may be sticky at first, but knead it slightly until it becomes pliable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12 inches in length.
Wrap each dough rope around a cube of cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Shape into a pretzel form if desired.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm!
