Directions Preparing:20 minCooking:15 min

Step 1TO MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small bowl, mix the salt, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, and garlic flakes. Set aside.

Step 2TO MAKE THE PRETZELS: Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 3In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the ghee and mozzarella. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until the mozzarella is melted and you can easily handle it with your hands and roll it into a ball.

Step 4Add the almond flour, salt, and garlic powder to the mozzarella and stir to combine, and then mix in the egg. If the mixture won’t combine like a dough, microwave it in 10-second intervals until it does.

Step 5Lay out a sheet of parchment paper. Use your hands to roll the dough on the parchment into a long rope about ½ inch in diameter.

Step 6Cut the dough rope into 6 pieces and form each into a pretzel. Transfer the parchment with the pretzels to a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 7Brush each pretzel with melted ghee, and then sprinkle each with the topping.

Step 8Bake for 15 minutes. Serve with a small cup of mustard for dipping (if using).
