I don’t have a silicone baking mat, what is the alternative?
If you don’t have a silicone baking mat for the Soft Keto Pretzels, the best alternative is to line your baking pan with parchment paper.
Parchment paper provides a similar non-stick surface, which is essential for this cheese-based dough to ensure the pretzels don’t stick to the pan while baking at 356°F.
