I like to make my calzones this way. Cormeal in the dough gives a softer crust but will crisp up beautifully with an oven stone. If enclosed correctly little cheese will escape thsese pizza pockets. Also for an added treat, the calzones may be made smaller and deep fried as appetizers! Read more ! See less
