Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 24 slices Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheeses are melted and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture, along with the egg. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal rectangles. On one side of each rectangle, spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce, and layer with three pepperoni slices.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal, and crimp them with the tines of a fork to ensure they don't open during baking.
Transfer the filled pockets onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the dough feels firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
