Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 0.25 cup baking soda
- 2 cups warm water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almond flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and continue microwaving for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
Quickly stir the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg into the dough and knead with your hands (you can wear food-safe gloves if preferred) until the dough becomes smooth and uniform.
Divide the dough into 4 portions. On a surface sprayed lightly with cooking spray, roll each portion into a rope about 12 inches long.
Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the pretzel bites.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Stir until dissolved.
Using a slotted spoon, gently dip each piece of dough into the baking soda water for about 10 seconds, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the pretzel bites lightly with melted butter and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce.
