Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet.

In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, honey, orange zest and cinnamon.

Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll each piece of dough into a 6-inch round. Spread half the ricotta mixture on one side of each round, leaving a half-inch border. Brush the edges of one dough round with water, and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Repeat with second dough round.

Transfer calzones to baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake until crusts are golden brown and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with additional honey before serving.

Made this with my regular pizza crust, the one in "My Bread." The cannoli cream is quite good, and the crust was very good as always. Having said that, I'm not sure they're the best match.
I may try the cream with a puff pastry crust, which I think might work better together.
Knowing Melissa, they'll probably be delicious, but: it seems the rounds need to be rolled out larger than 6"...that, or much less filling needs to go in. It looked like it was way too much filling, and lo, when I tried tucking one end over the other, out came the filling! I quickly scooped enough to be able to seal up the calzones, but even so, the calzones popped open during baking and more filling oozed out. Looking forward to eating them, messy or no!

You made two, right? The filling is for two.
