Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 beaten Egg (for egg wash)

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 mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and easy to stir together.

Step 3

Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the melted cheeses. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg to the cheese and flour mixture, kneading until a smooth dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to get a cohesive dough.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion between two pieces of parchment paper until about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on one half of each rolled-out dough circle, leaving a small border along the edge.

Step 7

Place 2-3 pepperoni slices on top of the sauce and sprinkle with a little more mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Carefully fold the dough over the fillings to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to ensure they stay sealed during baking.

Step 9

Place the panzerotti on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the panzerotti are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb panzerotti!
