Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Looking for a special type of Sicilian Calzone - anyone know about it?),it will help you,my kids.

When I was a kid my Sicilian grandmother made a type of calzone made with capicola, salami, different cheeses, tomato sauce and onions, etc. She used to call it something that sounded like "envoodyulada". Has anyone ever heard this name before and if so can you tell me how to spell it and maybe give me a recipe? Thanks!

Answer:
I know of a great Itailian bakery in Toronto Canada, that sells a vast supply of all the regional specialtys, I have had there Sicilain Calzone, I was a chef in Canada for 20 yrs, that may not seem important, but ti found the dough to be richer and ligher than just plain old pizza dough, it had egg in the dough, was slightly sweet, not overly, and as you said the selection of meats and chesses (I detected provolone and romano, as they make the best in Sicily), chunks of tomatos and lots of onions that were cooked.

That would be my only suggestion, add a bit of sugar and an egg to the dough, not to stiff, cook your onions to a nice brown not dark, and a mixture of good cheeses. Maybe use the tinned chopped tomatos with a seasoning of oregano, garlic and chili peppers, and I would shred the meats into batons, there too you can make it spicy by using hot capiacola and spicy salami (I like hot Genoa) with me the spicy the better, I add hot sauce to my coffee??
Sicilian Pizza Recipe

Yield: 1 (12-inch) round pizza

Add your favorite toppings to suit your family's taste. For thinner crust, divide dough in half; press onto 2 (12-inch) round pizza pans. Proceed with recipe as directed. Traditionally, this recipe is made in a rectangular shape.

DOUGH:

4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 1/2 cups warm water (100° to 110° F)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

TOPPINGS: (for more).

1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Toppings: chopped onion, green or red bell pepper rings, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, shredded fresh basil
Garnish: fresh rosemary sprigs

COMBINE 2 cups flour, yeast, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large mixing bowl; stir in 1 1/2 cups warm water and vegetable oil.
BEAT at low speed with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes; beat at high speed 3 minutes. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make dough stiff.
TURN dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top.
COVER and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
PUNCH dough down, and press onto a lightly greased 12-inch round pizza pan or into a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan.
COVER and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
SAUTé onion and garlic in hot olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Add remaining 1 teaspoon salt, tomatoes, and next 6 ingredients.
BRING to a boil; cook, covered, over medium heat 10 minutes. Spoon sauce over dough.
BAKE at 475° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with desired toppings; bake 10 to 15 more minutes. Garnish, if desired.
