Ingredients
2 1/4 cup
Almond flour/meal, Bob's Red Mill
6 tbsp
Coconut flour
1/3 cup
Whey protein powder, unflavoured
1 tbsp
Baking powder
1 tsp
Garlic powder
3/4 tsp
Xanthan gum
3 large
Egg
6 tbsp
Butter, unsalted
(melted)
3 cup shredded
Swiss cheese
(or any cheese or combination of preference)
1 1/2 cup
Ham, sliced
(chopped)
1 egg yolk
Egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic and xanthan gum.
Add eggs and melted butter and mix until dough comes together.
Divide dough in half. Turn out first half onto a large piece of parchment paper and pat into a rough circle. Top with another piece of parchment paper and roll out into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter (roll it out quite thinly). Remove top piece of parchment.
Sprinkle one half of the circle with about 1 & 1/2 cups of shredded cheese and 3/4 cup of chopped ham, leaving a 3/4 inch border for sealing the calzone.
Use the parchment paper to lift and gently fold the other half of the dough over the cheese and ham filling. Pinch the edges to seal and crimp it with your fingers to create a nice edge.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Transfer calzones, still on the parchment on to baking sheets (or one large one, if you have it).
Mix egg yolk in a small bowl and brush over the calzones.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
