Ingredients

▢ 207 grams mozzarella cheese shredded (2.5 cups)
▢ 2 ounces cream cheese (58 g)
▢ 1 teaspoon baking powder
▢ 46 grams coconut flour (⅓ cup)
▢ 1 large egg at room temperature
▢ 8 grams psyllium husk powder (1 tablespoon)
▢ pinch of salt
▢ 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese into a microwave safe bowl, and heat at 30 second intervals until they are melted and well combined.
Put the cheese dough into a mixing bowl, and add the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, egg and salt. Beat on high with flat beater (if you have one) until a well incorporated dough forms.
Press the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about ¼ of an inch thick,
Cut the dough into four squares, and cut each square into two even triangles.
Starting at the widest end of each triangle, roll them to the thinnest end, forming a croissant shape.
Bake until tops are nicely browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Brush the croissants with the melted butter and serve.

Notes

Cup measurements can be very inaccurate so I recommend using the weights for best results.

A flat beater on a stand mixer is recommended for mixing the dough.

Coconut flour can vary in absorbency so if your dough is crumbly, you can try adding in some liquid. Adding in a little melted butter or beaten egg should help if you end up with dry dough.

If your dough is too wet, you can try adding very small amounts of coconut flour or psyllium to make the dough workable.

Its best to work the dough while it is still warm as it becomes less pliable as it cools.

You can use whole psyllium husks, but you'll need about two tablespoons to replace the powder. The powdered psyllium is recommended, though.
