Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 24 slices pepperoni slices
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and stir until smooth.

Step 3

Add almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 4

Add the egg to the mixture, kneading it in until the dough is smooth and uniform. This can be done by hand, or use a food processor for convenience.

Step 5

Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each part into a ball. Flatten each ball between two pieces of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Place 6 pepperoni slices and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on one half of each flattened dough piece, leaving space around the edges. Drizzle a tablespoon of marinara sauce over the cheese and pepperoni.

Step 7

Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and ensure they are well sealed.

Step 8

Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush each pocket with a little olive oil or beaten egg for a glossy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the pizza pockets to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy with extra marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
