Sausage and cheese perfectly wrapped in a golden brown low carb dough. Perfect for dipping in your favorite pizza sauce!
My husband has long been a lover of calzones. His absolute favorite is ham and cheese (more on that in another post). He whole-heartedly approves of these calzones!
I was having one of those evenings when I didn't know what I was going to make for dinner. I had been wanting to try this dough with calzones, and it turned out fantastic!
This recipe uses the dough from my Low-Carb Stromboli recipe. You will need to make a double batch for these calzones, and you should get 8 Calzones.

I spent several years in upstate New York and calzones was one of my favorite things. I love how you have adapted the fathead dough for this recipe. It's a killer! Can't wait to try.

I made these last night for dinner with a salad, and they are "awesome"! My question is can you made the dough ahead and freeze before cooking or are they better made and then freeze?
dsdjhardy
I haven't tried freezing the dough ahead of time, but I would think they would be okay if you cooked them first, then froze them! If you do, please report back and let me know how it turns out! So glad you enjoyed them! They are on my menu again this week!

Yowza!!! These are amazing! I had to ditch wheat 9 years ago and I have really missed those calzones at Mellow Mushroom. This dough was so easy to make and work with. Thank you for sharing!

I am allergic to almonds/almond products. Is there something else to substitute for the almond meal in this recipe? I have given breads up completely and would LOVE to try this. Thank you
Sarah Hardy
You could try it with coconut flour, but I don't think the amounts would be the same. I'm sorry I do not have an answer for you! 🙁
Cassie Barnett
These were SO yummy! I added bell pepper and black olIves inside! Mmmm!!!

Hi, is there a reason you don’t put sauce inside? I can understand that flooding it with sauce wouldn’t work but I’m just wondering if you think adding some inside would have a negative affect on the outcome. Thank you Sara!
Sarah Hardy
I think you could add a little!
