you can do this without controller, convert both to autonomous mode, follow this post if you run into any issue converting to autonomous mode.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12336596/how-convert-ap-1700-2700-lightweight-mode-autonomous-mode

once converted, you can configure one AP as root other AP as non-root, I would also recommend you to configure some form of security for instance non-root should authenticate through 802.1x with root before joining, using a local user database on root.

Follow the link below for configuration example.

If you want to use controller you can do ethernet bridging over mesh, see the link below.

I have personally done option 1 with a different AP model, keep in mind to take consideration RF parameters like EIRP, LOS etc for wireless bridging.
