Ingredients
  

For the Fathead Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked beef sausage or turkey pepperoni
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

Optional Toppings:

  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Grated Parmesan for sprinkling
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds or until fully melted.
  • Add almond flour, baking powder, and egg to the cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If sticky, knead with damp hands or chill slightly.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
  • Spoon a tablespoon of marinara on one side of each dough circle, followed by sausage or turkey pepperoni and shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  • Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Pinch or crimp the edges to seal.
  • Place calzones on the baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • If dough tears while folding, pinch and reshape gently.
  • Swap fillings like mushrooms, spinach, or ricotta for variety.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
