Notes
Net carbs: 7.6g plus 0.9g (pizza sauce) = 8.5g per calzone. Makes 3 calzones.
*** If not using my pizza sauce, make a quick tomato sauce with ⅓ cup (80ml) thick tomato passata, 1 teaspoon minced garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs. Or simply use 1 tablespoon double concentrated tomato puree per calzone.
