Advertisement

To mount the calzone:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Divide the dough in half. Press half of a parchment-lined cookie sheet into a 12 x 8 rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Pour the filling in the middle and spread, leaving an inch border on all sides.
  4. Flip the edges and pinch the corners to hold the padding
  5. On a separate piece of parchment, press a 13 x 6 rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Cut into 3 long strips to knit or 6 shorter strips to stack long strips on top of each other.
  7. Braid the strips diagonally as you wish, or lay them diagonally.
  8. Press the strips into the dough from the edges of the calzone so that it adheres firmly.
  9. If desired, brush the calzone with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy seeds (or sesame seeds) and coarse salt.
  10. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed.
  11. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.

Approximate net carbs per serving = 5g.
Alternative Method:  Press the dough into a 16 inch diameter circle.  Spread the filling over half the circle, leaving a one inch border.  Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges down to seal.  Cut three lines in the top of the calzone to allow steam to escape.  Bake as directed above.
