Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
- 0.25 cups Baking soda
- 3 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Add the almond flour mixture to the melted cheese, followed by 1 large egg, and stir until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to fully combine the ingredients.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, about 15 inches long, and shape into a pretzel by forming a U shape, twisting the ends, and folding them down over the loop.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the remaining egg to create an egg wash.
In a separate medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of water with 0.25 cups of baking soda and bring to a low boil.
Dip each pretzel into the boiling baking soda solution for about 10-15 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until pretzels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter, and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb Bavarian soft pretzels warm!
