Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add it to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the dough begins to form.
Add the egg and water to the dough, and continue stirring until everything is well combined. The dough should be smooth and relatively sticky.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangles for croissants. Start at the base of each triangle and roll towards the tip to form croissant shapes.
Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
