Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut flour or almond flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered stevia (more for dessert croissants)
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 ounces mozzarella
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter salted, and melted
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 325F.
- Bowl One: Whisk together the coconut flour, stevia, xanthan gum, and baking powder.
- Bowl two (microwavable): Add your mozzarella to a bowl and place in the microwave. Microwave for about 1 minute while checking on it every 20-30 seconds. Cheese should be well melted but not burnt or dried out.
- Add the mozzarella and the egg to the coconut flour mixture. Combine well and form into a ball of dough. Optional: to make the dough easier to handle, freeze for 30 minutes.
- Knead the ball of dough if necessary and roll out between two sheets of parchment paper. Try to form as much of a circle of dough as possible.
- Cut the dough into 6-8 pieces with a pizza cutter or knife. When sliced it should resemble a sliced pizza.
- Roll from the longer, wider outer edge to the pointed corner. Pinch the dough where needed to seal but be careful to not pinch too much. Bend the corners for a croissant shape. Repeat with other slices.
- Brush or spoon butter onto the croissants.
- Air fry 5-8 minutes at 325F. Add time in two minute increments if not yet golden brown depending on your air fryer.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
