Active Dry Yeast: The important thing about yeast is to follow the instructions on the back as some yeasts are ready to use as is, and some require a little prep to activate the yeast so it’s ready to use. Both work well for dough recipes, you just need to ensure you prep it properly if required. Spicy Feta Dip: If you want your calzones to have a bit of a Greek twist, then stuff them with this Spicy Feta Dip.
