Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 cup almond flour Coconut flour works as a substitute with adjusted quantity.
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese Use finely shredded for best texture.
- 1 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon coarse kosher salt Adjust to taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- In a small bowl, add the yeast and warm water. Stir with a fork and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a double boiler or microwave, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat for 1 minute, then stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals until fully melted.
- Stir the dissolved yeast into the melted cheese. Add the beaten egg and then incorporate the almond flour mixture. Knead into a cohesive dough.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log approximately 4 inches long, then cut each log into 4 bites (16 in total).
- Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, brush each bite with melted butter, and sprinkle a touch of coarse salt. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Best served with dips like spicy mustard or creamy cheese sauce. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven at 350°F.
