Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
- 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Warm Water
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 large Egg
For the Filling
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Marinara Sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, sugar, instant yeast, xanthan gum, and salt. Add warm water, olive oil, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
- While dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, chopped spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a sheet of parchment paper dusted with gluten free flour, pat each piece into a 7-inch round.
- Place about 1/3 cup of filling on one half of each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, then crimp with a fork. Place on the baking sheet and cut 2 small slits on top of each calzone.
- Brush tops with olive oil and bake for 20 to 22 minutes until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes and serve with warm marinara sauce.
