Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free)
Instructions
Preheat the 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 for 1-2 minutes or until melted and easy to mix.
Stir the melted cheese mixture until smooth, then add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Mix well until a uniform dough forms. You may need to knead the dough with your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 10-inch long rope.
Shape each rope into a pretzel by forming a U-shape, crossing the ends over each other twice, then folding the ends down to form a pretzel shape.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pretzel lightly with olive oil.
Top each pretzel with a few slices of pepperoni and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
While the pretzels are baking, warm the pizza sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once baked, allow the pretzels to cool slightly. Serve warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.
