Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups Wholesome Yum Almond Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 4 tbsp Cream cheese (cubed)
Filling:
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese (full-fat)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Frozen spinach (thawed and drained well)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb Ground Italian sausage
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dough:
-
In a food processor, puree the almond flour and the eggs, until smooth.
-
Combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a large bowl and microwave for 45 seconds. Stir, then microwave again for another 45 seconds. Stir the melted cheese until smooth.
-
Add the cheese to the food processor, positioned directly over the blade, and process until a dough forms. Pulse or scrape the sides as necessary. Mix until well-combined.
-
Form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until no longer sticky.
Filling:
-
Meanwhile, add the Italian sausage to a large skillet, and cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned. Remove sausage from heat.
-
Add Italian sausage, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, spinach, and Italian seasoning to a large bowl, stir until combined.
Assembly:
-
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Sprinkle the work surface and rolling pin with almond flour and roll the dough into 8-inch (20.3 cm) circles.
-
Spoon 1/6 of the filling onto the half of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) border. Fold dough in half, then roll and crimp, pinching it closed. Cut two holes into the top to allow steam to escape. Repeat with remaining dough circles.
-
Place the assembled calzones onto the lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.
