Soft Baked Pretzels

Here’s a delicious low-carb recipe for soft baked pretzels. These are gluten free and a batch of 6-8 pretzels takes 20 min from start to finish!

Here’s what you’ll need:

3/4 Cups Almond Flour
1 egg
2 Tbs Cream Cheese (full fat)
1 ½ cups shredded Mozzarella Cheese
*Sea Salt
*Melted Butter (2 tablespoons)

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or by spraying it with cooking spray.
Measure 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 Tablespoons of Cream Cheese into a microwave safe bowl.
Warm it in the microwave in 30 second increments. Stir it with a fork in between.
(heat-stir-heat-stir)

When the cheeses are well mixed, melted, and smooth, add in 1 egg and stir it in too.
Next, measure 3/4 cups of Almond Flour and add that to the bowl and mix it all together with the fork until it forms a dough. You can also mix the dough with your hands to get it even more blended.

With wet hands, grab a portion about the size of a golf ball and roll it in your hands. Work the dough until you create a rope -a little over a foot long is ideal.
To twist the Dough-Rope into a pretzel, shape it like a “U” with the middle part touching the baking sheet.
Take each end of the Dough-Rope and cross them over each other, then twist. Lay the twist flat and press it gently into the base of the “U”.
