Description
Delicious homemade cheesy pretzels made with almond flour and mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese (low moisture and part skim)
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 3 large eggs (divided)
- 1 teaspoon salt (to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder and set aside. In a microwave safe bowl, add the shredded cheese with cream cheese and microwave until the cheese has melted. Whisk together.
- Transfer the cheese mixture into a food processor. Add the bowl of dry ingredients and two of the eggs, and pulse until combined and a thick dough remains. The dough should feel soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky.
- Lightly oil your fingers, then transfer the ball of dough onto a kitchen surface. Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll out each one into a 10-inch hot dog shape. Cross each one into a pretzel shape and place on the lined tray. If the dough cracks while shaping, gently press it back together.
- Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the top of each pretzel. Sprinkle with the salt.
- Bake the pretzels for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
- These pretzels are best served warm.
