Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is melted and smooth.
   • Once melted, mix in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
   • Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. You might need to knead it a bit with your hands to ensure everything is well incorporated.
3. Form the Pockets:
   • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
   • Cut the dough into squares or circles, depending on your preference. The size should be large enough to fold over and seal.
4. Add the Filling:
   • On one half of each dough square or circle, add a spoonful of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, and your desired pizza toppings.
   • Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges or press them with your fingers.
5. Apply Egg Wash (Optional):
   • Brush the tops of the pizza pockets with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake:
   • Place the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the pizza pockets cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re great on their own or with a side of additional pizza sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly pizza pockets!
