We’re so sorry to hear you are allergic to almonds. Unfortunately you cannot substitute coconut flour in this recipe 🙁

Candace, Yes, we’ve tried boiling these pretzels in baking soda water before baking. However, since this dough is basically made of cheese it didn’t go as it normally does when making regular pretzels. The pretzels melted in the water! The thing to remember is that we’re basically making bread out of cheese, so they’ll be a bit different than regular (i.e., non-keto) products that we’re used to eating before our keto days. That being said, these are delicious in their own right and a great simulation of pretzels. If you try boiling these pretzels and have success with it, please let us know!

The part skim works best for the dough because of the moisture content of the cheese.

Helen, We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe! Yes, the dough can be used for pizza as well. To do so: 1) Roll out the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper to a circle about 1/3-inch thick. 2) Remove the top piece of parchment paper, and transfer the dough (still on the bottom piece of parchment paper) to a large baking sheet. Use a fork to poke a few holes in the dough. 3) Bake the crust in a preheated 425F oven until light golden, about 10 minutes. 4) Remove the prebaked crust from the oven and top with sauce, cheese, or any pizza toppings you like. 5) Return the pizza to the oven and cook until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. We hope you enjoy! 🙂

Chris, The psyllium husk helps add a bread-y texture. You can definitely make this recipe without it, but the texture will be a little different. We haven’t played around with substitutions, but xanthan gum or beef gelatin may also work. Please let us know how it goes if you decide to experiment with the recipe!
