How to make keto soft pretzels
I make these tasty pretzels using modified Fathead dough. I add a bit more almond flour than the original recipe calls for. Otherwise, the dough is too sticky to handle.
I also add several seasonings, including garlic powder and cayenne pepper, and a bit of Parmesan cheese, which give these keto pretzels a wonderful flavor. Scroll down to the recipe card for the detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:
1. You start by whisking together the almond flour, Parmesan, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.
2. Next, microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese until melted. Then add the almond flour mixture and the egg and knead into a smooth dough.
3. Divide the dough into portions and shape into pretzels (the video below shows you exactly how to do it).
4. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt, then bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
How to serve keto pretzels
They’re wonderful all on their own! But you can also dip them into a variety of dips and sauces, including cheese sauce, Greek yogurt ranch dip, spinach artichoke dip and pizza dip. You can also serve them alongside soups such as this broccoli soup.
How to store them
If you have leftovers, it’s best to freeze them in freezer bags, and gently thaw in the microwave. They don’t keep very well in the fridge, but they do keep well in the freezer.
