Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
• Place the yeast, inulin and warm water in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to proof for 5 minutes.2 teaspoons Dried Yeast,1 teaspoon Inulin,2 tablespoons Warm Water
• In a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside5.5 ounces Almond Flour,2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
• Place a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat and add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Keep a close eye on it as it melt, stirring frequently to prevent browning. Heat until the cheese is thick and pourable.11 ounces Mozzarella Cheese,4 tablespoons Cream Cheese
• Add the proofed yeast and melted cheese to the almond flour, mix for 1 minute before adding the eggs.2 large Eggs
• Mix until a smooth and sticky dough has formed. I recommend putting on food-safe gloves and mixing by hand. Leave to sit for 5 minutes to rest.
• Split the dough into quarters, and each quarter into 3 pieces, so that you have 12 balls. The dough is easiest to work with while it is warm and whilst wearing food-safe gloves.
• Roll each ball into a long skinny log and twist into a pretzel shape. Place on a lined cookie sheet and give a little space with side as the pretzels will rise.
• Brush the pretzels with the butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt.2 tablespoons Salted Butter,1 tablespoon Pretzel Salt
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
• When the pretzels are golden brown, remove them from the oven. Don’t burn your fingers trying to eat them immediately.
• Leave them to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

TIPS: The keto soft pretzel dough is very sticky. It is easiest to roll the dough out on a plastic cutting board wearing food-safe gloves to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
