Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses melt and mix together when stirred. Stir them to form a smooth mixture.
Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Crack the egg into the bowl and continue to mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly with your hands to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 10 inches in length. Shape each rope into a pretzel shape by forming a loop with ends that cross over, then tuck the ends under the loop.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Pfefferbrezel warm!
