Soft Pretzels

These soft pretzels are made from a modified "fat head dough". I remember when T started keto and I was looking up recipes I would see "fat head dough" EVERYWHERE. I was confused as to what it was. So if you are lost, like I was, fat head dough is a dough made from cheese, egg and a small amount of flour. To up the fat in this recipe I added some MCT oil powder and used almond flour.

T will have these pretzels as part of a meal or as a snack with cheese sauce, to increase ratio.
