Add 1 egg, 3/4 cup almond flour, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder to the same bowl. Knead all the ingredients together with your hands until fully incorporated, then form a large dough ball.
4
Divide the dough ball into three equal parts.
5
Roll out each of the three dough parts into individual 8-inch circles, using two layers of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and carefully transfer the bottom layer of parchment paper with the three dough circles onto a baking sheet.
7
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup ricotta, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1 cup cooked Italian sausage, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
8
Place one-third of the filling mixture on one half of each dough circle.
9
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and seal the edges with a fork.
10
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of each calzone.
11
Make 3-4 slits in the top of each calzone, about an inch apart.
12
Sprinkle the calzones with 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon coarse salt.

Bake for 20-26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
