Description
These gluten free pretzels are low in carbs, high in fat, and contain a moderate amount of protein. That's due in part to the almond flour and mozzarella cheese in the dough. That in combination with the spices in the dough and the salt on top makes the perfect savory pretzel for those with Celiac Disease.

- Add all dry ingredients to a medium bowl, and whisk until fully combined
- Add the mozzarella to a large glass bowl. Cut the cream cheese into cubes, and add on top. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway with a silicone spatula
- Add the almond flour and a beaten egg to the bowl with the melted cheese. Mix with a silicone spatula to incorporate, and knead with your hands until combined. The dough should be slightly sticky
- Divide into 6 equal pieces (about 70 g each), and shape into pretzels on your prepared pan. Brush the tops with water. Sprinkle the tops with flaky salt or everything bagel seasoning
- Bake the pretzels at 350F for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm
- Store leftovers in an airtight bag in the freezer. Air fry from frozen at 400F for 5 minutes to reheat
