Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
• 3 tbsp full fat cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tbsp flaxseed
• ½ tsp baking powder
• pinch of coarse sea salt

Directions

• Heat the oven to 180 degrees.
• Melt the mozzarella and the cream cheese. I did this in a pan on a very low heat, stirring constantly once the melting process starts. If you have a microwave, 1½ minutes should do the trick.
• If you do this on the stove, turn off the heat once the cheese is fully melted. Add the egg and stir until combined. If your egg is straight from the fridge, you might have to heat the mixture a little bit. Just be patient. It will happen in the end!
• Add the almond flour, flaxseed and baking powder and stir until combined. You should end up with a big mozzarella ball that looks just like dough.
• Oil your hands. With a spoon, pinch off a piece of dough the size of a ping pong ball and stretch/roll it in your hands until it is about 20 cm long.
• On a lined baking sheet, form it into a pretzel shape. Continue until all dough is used.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for circa 20 minutes until nicely browned. You might want to rotate the baking sheet half way through.
