Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the beef rendang to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Make sure to shred the beef rendang into small pieces to make it easier to stuff into the calzone.
- Use a pizza stone or a baking sheet to bake the calzone to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Brush the calzone with olive oil before baking to give it a crispy and golden brown crust.

Mix well and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the beef rendang is fully cooked.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add warm water and mix until it forms a dough.
5. Roll out the dough into a circle and place it on a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
6. Spread the pizza sauce on one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
