  3. Add 1 egg and olive oil and pulse until a sticky batter. Don’t over-mix.
  4. Divide dough into two and roll out between two sheets of parchment paper. Cut around a 19 cm saucepan lid. Use ends to form the third circle.
  5. On one half of the dough, spread the ingredients starting with 2 tablespoon pizza sauce, ham, ricotta and mozzarella, leaving about ¾ inch from the edge. Fold over and crimp the edges.

Notes

  • Net carbs: 7.6g plus 0.9g (pizza sauce) = 8.5g per calzone. Makes 3 calzones. 
  • *** If not using my pizza sauce, make a quick tomato sauce with ⅓ cup (80ml) thick tomato passata, 1 teaspoon minced garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs. Or simply use 1 tablespoon double concentrated tomato puree per calzone.
