Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 unit Egg, large
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 6 cups Water
- 0.333 cup Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and mix. Then add the egg and continue to mix until a dough forms. Kneading with your hands may help to fully incorporate the ingredients.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, approximately 12 inches in length, and shape into a pretzel.
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil. Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 10-15 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t stick to the bottom. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb soft pretzels warm!
