FOR THE MUSTARD BUTTER:

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • We use the mozzarella cheese as it provides the stretchy, gooey base like the fathead dough which also gives the pretzels the chewy, bread-like texture. We have to use low-moisture mozzarella shreds for optimal results.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Cream cheese makes the dough more indulgent and it also facilitates a smooth binding the cream cheese is also utilized to add a creamy texture to the cheese dips.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • This flour has low carbs and gluten-free & gives the dough body and structure. We have to use finely ground almond flour rather than almond meal to prevent a grainy texture.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Baking powder makes the dough slightly rise so that the pretzel is not dense but rather lighter and puffier.

EGGS:

  • Egg serves as a binder which helps to keep the dough together and also helps to brown the dough during baking.

SALT:

  • Coarse salt is a traditional pretzel topping that improves the flavor overall and flavor. We can use the sea or kosher salt for this purpose.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • Cheddar cheese is very flavorful and sharp and it melts well and gives the creamy, silky dip that goes well with pretzels.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • Dijon mustard adds acidity and it balances the indulgence of the cheese dip and mustard butter.

BUTTER:

  • We combine the butter with mustard to create a savory spread for a glossy finish and an additional taste.

INSTRUCTION:

TO MAKE THE PRETZEL:

  1. We can turn on the oven and set the temperature at three-seventy-five degrees F.
  2. Then we can put the silicon mat on the tray.
  3. We add the cream cheese & mozzarella together in a bowl and liquefy for around ninety seconds and mix in halfway.
  4. Then we can include the baking powder, almond flour, egg, and garlic seasoning, and stir these components till they get well mixed or we get a sticky dough.
  5. We can divide the dough into 8 equal chunks and roll each chunk into a 12-14-inch-long rope then form a pretzel shape by twisting the dough.
  6. Then we can transfer the pretzels on a baking sheet and sprinkle the salt over the dough.
  7. We can bake these pretzels for 13 to 15 minutes or until they get golden bro

TIPS:

  • We have to work so fast while the dough is still warm so it helps to shape the dough better and easily.
  • You can also apply the oil in the hands or wet the hands so that the dough will get less stuck.
  • We should avoid over baking as they get cool they will solidify.
  • You can brush the pretzels with the eggs so that they get brown well.
