Instructions

Prepare all of the ingredients needed and separate them all in advance. Start preheating your oven to 200 Celsius or 400 Fahrenheit.
The first thing to do is to melt the cheese on a stove for a better result than in the microwave. Once the cheese has melted completely, add the almond flour and the egg. Mix until the flour blends in with the cheese, and you get a smooth dough consistency.
After thoroughly mixing the dough, let it cool for a few minutes, work the dough, and knead with your bare hands. This process may take up to 10 minutes to combine to form a smooth consistency and soft dough.
Once you have achieved the perfect dough, portion it depending on what size or how many pretzels you make. For this recipe, I divided it into eight equal pieces to get medium-sized pretzel pieces.
After dividing the dough into your desired size and amount, take each one of them and roll out the dough into a thinner log on a silicone or baking sheet. If you are familiar with the shape of a pretzel, it will be easy for you to form one, but if you need more clarification, you can follow the video I made for you. Gently transfer the shaped pretzels onto a lightly floured surface with parchment paper.
Whisk an egg in a small bowl, get a baking brush, and brush each pretzel.
Add any toppings of your choice. I am using not more than one tablespoon of crystal salt and sesame seeds. Sprinkle on top of the pretzels generously before baking. Bake the pretzels for at least 12 minutes until they turn golden brown and deliciously soft.

Notes

Baking soda - you can use baking soda or do a baking soda bath for the dough, as it can help achieve a perfect golden baked pretzel during baking.
Xanthan gum - if you want your classic pretzel shapes to have a little elasticity, you can use Xanthan gum.
Toppings and flavors - get creative with flavor variations. Add herbs, spices, or cheese to the dough for an extra kick. Pretzels are versatile, so playing around with different combinations is fine.
