• Separate the dough into eight equal pieces, adding more flour as needed. Let rise uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Coat a large frying pan with cooking spray. Break up the sausage into small chunks and cook over medium heat. While the sausage cooks, chop the pepperoni. Combine the sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
• Roll out the first piece of dough, adding more flour as needed. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on one half of the dough. Add 1/2 cup filling. Fold over the dough and pinch the edges slightly so no filling escapes during baking.
• Repeat with the remaining seven pieces of dough. Place four calzones on each baking sheet.
• Place the baking sheets in the oven with one sheet on the top rack and one sheet on the bottom rack. Bake for 6 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets. Bake for another 6-7 minutes.

PEPPERONI & SAUSAGE PIZZA CALZONE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a bowl, add cream cheese and mozzarella and microwave for one minute. Stir well and then put back in the microwave for another minute. Stir to combine. Add in egg and stir again, combining well, then add in almond flour. This should start to resemble dough. Set aside in the freezer or fridge for 15 minutes.
• For the filling: In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and onion and cook until onion has slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add in bell pepper and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Add in Italian sausage and break up using a spatula.
• Once Italian sausage is cooked, about 7 minutes, pour in marinara sauce and reduce heat to medium low. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk egg and mix in herbs.
• Take dough out of fridge and place on a piece of plastic wrap or a greased cutting board. Cut into pieces depending on how many calzones you want to make. This amount of dough will make two very large ones or four to five smaller ones.
• Roll out each piece of dough into a circle shape on plastic wrap using a rolling pin or place a piece of plastic wrap on top of dough and roll out using a wine bottle.
• Don't make too thin or the dough will break, try to make it around 1/4″ thick. Once it's rolled out, add filling to one side. Layer on pepperoni slices and provolone cheese then fold over the other side of the dough. Make sure to press firmly on the dough to make sure it's closed.
• Continue with remaining dough and filling.
• Once calzones are made, brush lightly with egg and herb mixture over the top.
• Put calzones on a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Cook at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Top with fresh basil and serve with extra marinara sauce, if desired.
• If you want to make this even lower carb, omit the onion and red bell pepper. Also, make sure to use a low carb marinara sauce. Nutrition facts will vary depending on the type of sauce used.
