Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg Egg wash (1 egg, beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the mozzarella cheese and butter. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the cheese mixture from heat and transfer it to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the almond milk and the two eggs.
Mix the ingredients together using a spatula or a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead the dough a few times to ensure that it is smooth and well combined.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, divide the rectangle into 8 triangles.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end towards the tip to form the croissant shape.
Transfer the formed croissants to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Brush each croissant lightly with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
