On a separate piece of parchment, press a 13 x 6 rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut into 3 long strips to knit or 6 shorter strips to stack long strips on top of each other.
Braid the strips diagonally as you wish, or lay them diagonally.
Press the strips into the dough from the edges of the calzone so that it adheres firmly.
If desired, brush the calzone with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy seeds (or sesame seeds) and coarse salt.
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed.
Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
