Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Italian sausages cut in half
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast mixed with 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free syrup
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the sausage halves on the baking sheet in a single layer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for 1 minute. Remove and stir, then microwave again for 40 seconds. Stir again and microwave for another 30 seconds if needed or until the cheese is completely melted and there are no visible shreds.
  • In a large bowl fitted to stand mixer with a hook attachment, mix together the almond flour, xanthan gum, yeast mixture, eggs, and 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  • Next, add in the melted cheese mixture.
  • Beat on medium speed until all the ingredients are combined, scraping the sides of the bowl to help get the dough mixed together.
  • Allow the dough to cool slightly for 10 minutes so that it is easier to work with and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Tape a large sheet of parchment to your counter.
  • Roll out dough into 10 oval shapes (approximately 3 x 3 inches) and wrap the dough around the sausages.
  • Transfer the pretzel sausages onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over each pretzel sausage and sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Drizzle the syrup over top of the cooked pretzels and garnish with the fresh thyme.
