09 -
1 teaspoon coarse salt
10 -
1 egg, whisked gently
11 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on and preheat it to 375°F.
02 -
Microwave the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe dish for 90 seconds total. Stop every 30 seconds to stir until smooth.
03 -
Mix the melted cheese mixture with the baking powder, almond flour, and an egg. Use your hands to combine everything until it forms a solid dough ball.
04 -
Split the dough into three parts evenly. Lay out parchment paper, and roll each piece into an 8-inch circle between two layers.
05 -
Peel off the top parchment layer, then move the bottom sheet with the rolled dough onto a baking tray.
06 -
Combine the ricotta, crumbled sausage, and shredded mozzarella in a medium-sized bowl.
07 -
Spoon a third of the stuffing onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the other side over, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
08 -
Brush the surface of each calzone with the beaten egg. Cut a few slits across the top of each one and sprinkle with oregano and salt.
09 -
Bake them in your preheated oven for 20 to 26 minutes, or until they turn a nice golden color.
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t skip kneading and rolling out the dough. It’s an essential step.
02 -
Avoid putting too much filling inside to prevent breaking.
03 -
Sauté your veggies beforehand if you’re using fresh ones.
04 -
Use sugar-free sauce on the side to avoid unnecessary sugar.
