Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
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 between each, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
Add the melted cheeses to the almond flour mixture and mix well until a dough forms.
Add the beaten eggs to the dough and mix until fully incorporated. The dough should be tacky but not overly sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about 15 inches in length. Form each rope into a pretzel shape.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Bavarian pretzels warm!
