I have a cold.

Yeah, it sucks.

Nothing tastes right and I even missed my chance to meet up with Kelly from the Spunky Coconut when she was in town. You can check out her delicious paleo strawberry ice cream recipe here.

Anyhow, back to my cold and the fact that I had to change direction with what I was going to share today.  

It didn’t take me very long to think it was time to share a Gluten free Calzone.  Oh mama, even with my taste buds slightly deadened I didn’t want to share my Calzone with Little.  

That’s pretty messed up, right?

A couple of tips about this Gluten Free Calzone

1. Don’t make them huge. Mine was probably 5″ tall and 7″ wide.  At first I made a huge one and it fell to pieces.    
2. This recipe will make two calzones and you might, like myself, have to close some cracks in the dough with the  “extra” dough the recipe makes.
3. If the gluten free pizza dough is sticky, go ahead and wet you hands to help prevent this. You can also use parchment paper to roll the dough and use it help you fold it together.

Common Questions about Calzones

What is in a calzone?

Pizza Sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Canadian bacon, pineapple, cooked spinach, cooked mushrooms, Italian sausage, cooked bacon, crumbled, and more. Make it your own.

Is a calzone just a folded pizza?

A calzone is a folded pizza. It’s ususally served with pizza sauce on the side

How can you tell if a calzone is done?

The dough on top should be puffed and golden brown like photo below. I always recommend cooking all the ingredients in you calzone before sealing it up.

For example raw vegetables will release a lot of water when baking if you do not precook them. When you pre-cook the ingredients then the only thing you need to be concerned with is the dough being fully cooked.

Ingredients

Dough

• ½ cup of coconut oil

• ½ cup coconut flour
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white, save yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of oregano

Instructions

1. Place the coconut oil, water, sea salt and spices in a small pan and bring to a boil.

3. Let this cool for 3- 4 minutes and then add in the coconut flour, egg and egg yolk.

6. Make sure you can flip it in half without it breaking completely (there will be small breaks). If it has too many cracks make it slightly smaller.
