I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and the calzones turned out great. They were just as flaky and delicious as the ones made with all-purpose flour.

I'm not a fan of olives so I omitted them from the filling. The calzones were still really good without them.

I'm a vegetarian so I used tofu instead of ground beef in the filling. The calzones were still delicious!

These calzones were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The dough was a bit too thick for my taste, but the filling was great. I'll try again with a thinner dough next time.

These calzones were a hit with my family! The dough was easy to work with and the filling was delicious. We had them with a side of marinara sauce and they were perfect.
