Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 3 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
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 for 1-2 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and can be stirred together smoothly.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder. Add the melted cheeses and egg to this dry mixture and stir together until a dough forms.
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and knead until smooth. If the dough is sticky, wetting your hands slightly with water can help.
Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope about an inch in diameter, then cut into small sections to form bites.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the baking soda. Stir until it dissolves completely.
Using a slotted spoon, gently dip each pretzel bite into the boiling baking soda water for about 20 seconds, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel bite with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low carb dip!
