Crispy, cheesy pockets filled with savory keto-friendly ingredients — these homemade calzones are the perfect low-carb comfort food!
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 cup almond flour
½ cup coconut flour
¼ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for a slightly sweet crust)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
¼ cup water or unsweetened almond milk (adjust as needed)
For the Filling (per calzone):
2–3 tbsp pizza sauce (low sugar preferred)
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp cooked and seasoned ground beef, Italian sausage, or spinach
Optional: pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, black olives, or mushrooms
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener (if using), baking powder, and salt.
Add melted oil and water (or milk), stirring until a soft dough forms. Add more liquid or flour as needed.
Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle (about 6 inches across).
On one half of each circle, add sauce, mozzarella, and your choice of filling ingredients.
Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press and crimp the edges to seal.
Place calzones on the baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: brush tops with garlic butter or olive oil before baking.
