Introduction
These low-carb, high-protein keto soft pretzels utilize a unique combination of mozzarella, cream cheese, and cottage cheese to replicate the soft, chewy texture of traditional pretzels. Brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with coarse salt, they offer a delicious snack that pairs perfectly with mustard.
Step 1
Combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of almond flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of xanthan gum, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Step 3
Microwave the cheese mixture in 30-second intervals (about 1.5 minutes total), stirring between each interval, until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.
Step 4
Add the melted cheese mixture and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Begin kneading and mixing with your hands to form a dough.
Step 5
Add 1 large egg to the dough and continue kneading with your hands until the egg is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Xanthan gum is a key ingredient in this gluten-free recipe as it provides the essential elasticity needed to shape the dough without it breaking.
Microwave the cheese in short intervals to avoid overheating, which can make the cheese tough and difficult to blend.
Leave ample space between the pretzels on the baking sheet because they will expand and puff up while baking.
Using an instant-read kitchen thermometer is recommended to check that the internal temperature of the baked pretzels has reached 190°F to ensure they are fully cooked through.
