Keto Fathead Calzone
You will love our Keto Fathead Calzone stuffed with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices. Our calzone is a pizza lovers' dream, and it is completely Keto and Low-Carb friendly. The bread-like fathead dough nicely browns in the oven and perfectly envelops the stuffing. The pepperoni, cheese, and tomato sauce filling are family-friendly and kid-friendly without the extra carbs! The calzone freezes well, so it would make a great make-ahead meal that can be easily reheated in an air fryer or oven.
What is fathead dough?
Fathead dough is made using Low Carb flour like almond flour and coconut flour blended with mozzarella cheese and cream cheese with eggs. All the ingredients are placed in a food processor until a stiff dough is formed. The dough is easy to roll between two silicone mats and browns nicely in the oven with an egg wash brushed on top. The final baked product is very bread-like and Keto-friendly!
What is the best marinara sauce to use?
Please look for a marinara sauce that is Low Carb and has no added sugars. If you cannot find a marinara sauce like this, you can also use plain canned tomato sauce as a substitute.
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this calzone with other Keto recipes like our Keto Fresh Artichoke Salad!

Recipe Steps
steps 7
40 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Add 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese to a food processor. Add 1 cup of almond flour and 2 tbsp of coconut flour, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt. Blend the mixture well until it turns into a crumbly mixture.Step 2
Next, add one egg. Blend the mixture well. The mixture will turn into a stiff but workable dough. If the amount of dough that this recipe makes is too large to fit in your food processor, feel free to divide the ingredients in half and blend it in batches. If doing so, combine the dough into one dough afterward.Step 3
Place the dough between two silicone mats to form a circle about ⅜” to ½” thickness. If you do not have silicone mats, you can use parchment paper, but it won’t be as nonstick. To mitigate this, if using parchment paper, make sure the dough is cold. Place it between the two parchment paper sheets and then chill it in the fridge until firm before rolling it.Step 4
Remove the top silicone mat. Spread 2 tbsp of marinara sauce onto one-half of the calzone. Add ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni slices on top of the marinara sauce.Step 5
Use the silicone mat to fold the dough in half enveloping the toppings. Crimp the dough around the edges, folding it over if possible and forming a thickened edge.Step 6
Scramble one egg with a fork in a small bowl. This will serve as an egg wash. Brush the top all over with the egg wash using a silicone brush.Step 7
Bake the calzone for 30-32 minutes or until it is golden brown all over and baked through. Allow the calzone to cool slightly before cutting it into five slices.
