I love to bake. Always have.
But as I get older, I have been working on recipes that are lower in carbs, lower in sugar and just a bit healthier when I can.
That is why I decided to try fathead dough.
What is it?
Well, it is a dough made by heating up shredded mozzarella and cream cheese, stirring it and adding a few other ingredients. It is a dough used a lot in Keto baking so I thought I would try it.
Thus the new recipe for Keto Pretzels.
The dough comes together fast and I found it easy to use.
The dough also rises really well in the oven.
I hope you will give this recipe a try and if you do let me know in the comments.
