Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
Quickly add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg. Mix until a dough forms. You can use your hands to knead it for better incorporation.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape of about 6 inches in length, resembling a traditional Laugenstange.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda carefully. Reduce to a simmer.
Using a slotted spoon, gently submerge each dough stick into the simmering water for about 30 seconds, making sure it is fully covered. Remove and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each low-carb Laugenstange with melted butter and sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the Laugenstange to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
