Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Cheese and Dough

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 large egg

Boiling and Topping

  • 6 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • Coarse salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Melt Cheeses: Place shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, stirring until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Form Dough: Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. If needed, knead the dough lightly to combine all ingredients well.
  5. Shape Pretzels: Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into traditional pretzel shapes or rolls, based on your preference.
  6. Prepare Baking Soda Bath: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to the boiling water to create a pretzel bath.
  7. Boil the Dough: Gently drop each shaped dough piece into the boiling baking soda water. Boil for 20-30 seconds to develop the pretzel’s characteristic crust. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain each piece carefully.
  8. Bake: Place the boiled pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with coarse salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the pretzels cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can brush the pretzels with melted butter after baking.
  • If you prefer softer pretzels, reduce the baking time slightly.
  • Make sure not to over-boil the dough in the baking soda bath as it may become too dense.
  • To store, keep pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking during baking.
