Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 1/3 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 2 cups Shredded Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 3/4 cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Large Egg

For the Topping

  • 1 Large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Butter, Melted

Equipment

  • pastry brush

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, mash the cottage cheese with a fork until mostly smooth, then add the mozzarella. Microwave for 60 seconds, stir, then microwave for 30 seconds more until fully melted and stretchy.
  • Let the cheese cool for 1 minute, then add the almond flour mixture and 1 egg. Stir to combine, then knead with lightly oiled hands until you have a smooth, uniform dough.
    If the dough becomes stiff and hard to work with, microwave it for 10 seconds to soften.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a rope about 15 inches long. Shape each rope into a U, cross the ends over each other twice, then fold them down and press onto the bottom curve to form a pretzel.
  • Arrange the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sea salt.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.
  • Brush the hot pretzels with the melted butter and serve warm.
