Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Then, fold in the melted cheese mixture. It might seem sticky or hard to combine at first—knead the mixture with your hands if necessary until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12 inches in length, then shape into knots.
In a large saucepan, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Carefully dip each pretzel knot into the pot for about 20 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each knot with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the knots to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
