Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 30 slices pepperoni slices
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the cheese mixture on high for about 1 minute, or until melted, stirring halfway through.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and oregano.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture and mix until slightly combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs and continue mixing until a dough forms.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 5 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.

Step 8

Place a piece of parchment paper over the dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce on one half of the circle. Place about 6 slices of pepperoni and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.

Step 10

Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi-circle. Pinch the edges to seal the pocket.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling ingredients.

Step 12

Transfer the pizza pockets to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
