Hello Garry,
There are dozens of requests for this recipe on different message boards
around the web, and no one has been able to provide any of the requesters
with a home recipe to make it. All that I can find about the bread are
small clues here and there. Adding these clues up gives me this:
In the U.S., this "Calabrese Bread" is basically a bakery creation. It's
based on a bread from Calabria that is called "Pitta Bread". When bakers
began making this "Pitta Bread" in America, they called it "Calabrese Bread"
so that it wouldn't be confused with flat "pita bread", which is also called
"pitta bread". In Calabria, this "pitta bread" is sometimes stuffed with
pizza-like ingredients and is then called "Piccia Calabrese".
As for making the bread at home, I found a message from someone who said :
"I spoke with the owner of our local Italian bakery and he said the method
of baking the bread is what makes it different, not the ingredients. He didn't
know how to duplicate the process in a normal oven. The bakery ovens have
a fan and a method of spraying water into the oven."
That sort of evades the issue, which is that, in Calabria, "pitta bread" is
obviously baked in people's homes....
Sorry that I couldn't be more help.
Garry, I suggest that you post a request on Italian forums, such as the one
on this site: https://italianfood.about.com/
You might ask the 'guide' of that site as well, since he is actually in Italy.
When you make your request, don't ask for "Calabrese Bread", since they don't
call it that in Italy. Ask for "Calabrian Pitta Bread."

Bonnie sent this recipe:
Basic Calabrese Pitta Bread Dough
1.5 kg strong plain flour (3lb)
1 tablespoon dried yeast (10z)
1 tablespoon salt
90 cl tepid water (1 1/2 pints)
2 tablespoons oil
Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
Mix yeast with water, leave to soften for about 15 minutes.
Add to flour with 2 tablespoons oil.
Mix to a stiff dough.
Knead until elastic and glossy (about 15 minutes)
Shape dough into a ball, place in oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and
leave to rise until doubled in bulk.
Punch down , knead into a ball and leave to rest another 10 - 15 minutes.
Pull off lumps of dough, shape into a ball, flatten and place on a floured
tea towel.
Rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 230C (450F)
Heat oven trays for 10 minutes in hot oven.
Place baking paper on tray and put Pitta rounds onto hot trays.
After about 10 minutes - when the breads have puffed up - remove them from
the oven. If you want a crisper texture bake a further 5 - 10 minutes.
Serve warm.

Hello Michelle,
See below.
Phaed
Killer Brownies
1 (14 oz.) pkg. Kraft caramels
1/3 c. evaporated milk
1 Pillsbury Plus German chocolate cake mix
3/4 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. evaporated milk
1 3/4 c. chopped walnuts
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate bits
In a heavy saucepan, combine caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until caramels are melted.
Set aside. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. In a large
mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, melted butter and 1/3 cup evaporated
milk. By hand stir until dough holds together. Add walnuts. Press
3/4 of dough into prepared pan. Reserve remaining dough for the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Pour caramel mixture over baked
crust as evenly as possible. Spread only if necessary. Sprinkle
chocolate pieces over caramel. Flatten remaining dough with fingers
and lay over top. Return to oven and bake 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
Refrigerate about 30 minutes to set caramel layer.
The cookbook is "Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food: An Opinionated
History and More Than 100 Legendary Recipes" by Arthur Schwartz. This,
folks, is one of the best references on New York food that I have seen.
There were many, many recipes that I could have chosen from this cookbook,
but I chose one that seems to be pretty rare these days according to Mr.
Schwartz. These sounded so good that I had to bring them to your attention.
Karnatzlach
A Romanian dish.
1 pound not-too-lean stew beef, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1 pound veal, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/2 cup club soda
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 to 10 large cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt (kosher or sea)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
Mix the two meats together.
Put about 1/2 pound of the meat in a food processor fitted with the metal
blade. Pulse the machine until the meat is finely minced, but not a paste.
Scrape the meat into a mixing bowl, and repeat with the remaining meat.
In a small bowl or cup, combine the club soda and baking soda. Pour the
mixture into the meat.
Add the garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley. Stir with a wooden
spoon, or mix with your hands. The meat should be very well blended.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at
least 2 hours, but preferably for about 8 hours.
Wet your hands with cold water and form the meat mixture into tapering
rolls about 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Every couple of rolls,
you will have to re-wet your hands. Place the karnatzlach on a platter
or baking sheet.
Prepare a charcoal fire, or preheat the broiler.
Place the karntzlach on the hot grill or hot broiler tray and cook for
8 to 10 minutes, turning the rolls a couple of times to brown them on
all sides.
The lesser time is for rare, the longer time for medium-well.
Serve hot.
