Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Cooked Italian sausage or pepperoni (optional)
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the dough: In a bread machine, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Pour in the warm water, olive oil, and eggs.

Step 2

Set the bread machine to the 'dough' setting and let it knead and rise, which should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the dough is ready, divide it into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour), roll each portion into an 8-inch circle.

Step 5

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and cooked Italian sausage or pepperoni if using.

Step 6

Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce on one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Add 1/4 of the cheese mixture on top of the sauce for each calzone, being careful not to overfill.

Step 8

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.

Step 9

Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little olive oil or an egg wash for added color.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
