Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Mini Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Calzones

Ingredients:

1 batch gluten-free pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup gluten-free ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (ensure it's gluten-free)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil for brushing

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your gluten-free pizza dough or according to your homemade dough recipe.
Roll out the gluten-free pizza dough on a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Using a round cutter or a glass, cut the dough into smaller circles, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Use a fork to crimp the edges of the calzones to seal them shut.
Place the stuffed calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the calzones with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve these delightful gluten-free Mini Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Calzones as a mouthwatering appetizer (joc appetizer) for your next gathering. Enjoy!
