Ingredients
  

CALZONE CRUST:

  • 1 1/4 cups blanched almond flour (or 1/2 cup coconut flour for nut free)
  • 5 tablespoons psyllium husk powder NO SUBSTITUTIONS
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
  • 2 large eggs (or 4 large eggs if using coconut flour)
  • 1 cup boiling water (or marinara sauce)

FILLING:

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Sliced Black Olives OPTIONAL
  • mushrooms OPTIONAL
  • Sliced red and green bell peppers OPTIONAL
  • diced onion OPTIONAL
  • Pepperoni OPTIONAL
  • Italian Sausage OPTIONAL

FOR SERVING:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond, psyllium powder (no substitutes: flaxseed meal won't work), baking powder and salt. Add in the eggs and combine until a thick dough. Add boiling water or salsa into the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Separate the dough into 2. Place the dough onto a piece of greased parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out in a circle shape with even thickness throughout, about 1/4 inch thick. Place desired pizza fillings in the middle of each circle. (NOTE: don't put pizza sauce inside as a filling or the bottom will get gummy. Just use it for dipping.) Fold the circle in half and pinch the edges closed with your fingers. Place each calzone onto a cookie sheet about 3 inches apart from each other.  Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with Primal Kitchen Marinara.
