Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Large Eggs

For the Pretzel Topping

  • 1/4 cup Hot Water
  • 1 tbsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Large Egg, Beaten
  • 2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt

Equipment

  • kitchen shears

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 to 40 seconds until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the almond flour and baking powder. Let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the eggs and knead with your hands until a smooth dough forms.
  • With oiled hands, divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Flatten them slightly into discs about 3 1/2 inches wide and 1 inch thick and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water and brush it generously over the tops and sides of the buns. Wait 2 minutes, then brush with the beaten egg.
    Snip a cross on top of each bun with kitchen shears and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until deep golden brown with that classic pretzel color.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before splitting. Use them for burgers, bratwurst or pulled pork sandwiches.
