Instructions

    1.
    Ensure you have a full batch of Carb Manager Fathead Dough prepared and chilled before starting this recipe.
    2.
    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the fathead dough on a sheet of parchment paper into a ½-inch thick disc. Use a 4-inch circle cutter to cut out 6 discs from the dough.
    3.
    Spread ½ tablespoon of marinara sauce over each dough disc, leaving a ½-inch bare edge. Sprinkle approximately ⅛ teaspoon of basil onto each disc.
    4.
    Arrange full or chopped spinach leaves on top of the marinara. Lay 3 pieces of pepperoni over each disc, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese per portion.
    5.
    Fold each disc in half to create a calzone shape. Use your fingers to firmly seal the edges shut. Slice 2 small cuts on top of each mini calzone to allow steam to escape.
    6.
    Whisk together 1 egg and brush it over all exposed dough (use about ½ the egg). Bake the tray for approximately 25 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked and the top is golden brown.
