Amounts The quantity of dough is equal to one recipe of filling? So one would have to choose one filling, right?

Correct the dough should yield around 30. If you want to make multiple fillings I would suggest halving the filling recipe, then you can get 15 of each.

I used my own pizza dough recipe for the calzone and used this vegetable filling. omitted tomatoes and added cottage cheese.

It was delicious!!

Why is it called mezones if it is hamotzi (should have been with orange juice or apple juice)
Thanks!
