Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a food processor, combine mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Process until everything is well mixed. You’ll need two sheets of parchment paper for rolling out the dough.
- Roll the Dough:
- Place the dough mixture on one piece of parchment paper and cover it with the second sheet. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 12 x 16-inch rectangle. If the dough is too sticky to roll, heat it in the microwave for about 1 minute. Wet your hands to spread the dough, if needed.
- Prepare the Sausage Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground pork, diced mushrooms, and chopped onion over medium heat until the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Break the sausage into crumbles as it cooks. Once done, remove the pan from heat and add parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and shredded cheese. Stir to combine. Taste the filling and adjust the seasonings as needed. Then, add the beaten eggs and mix well.
- Assemble the Calzone:
- Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly along the center of the dough. Carefully use the parchment paper to help fold the dough over the filling, forming a roll. Place the seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake the Calzone:
- Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
