Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a large bowl, mix your flour and salt. Separately stir the yeast into the lukewarm water. Pour the wet into the dry and stir by hand until a shaggy dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temp overnight. No kneading. No stress.
The next day, place your dough onto a floured surface. Cut into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Place on a floured tray, cover, and let them chill while your oven preheats.
Dust your counter with flour. Flatten a dough ball with your fingertips and gently stretch it into a rough 10-inch circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
Spread 3 tablespoons of Sturdy Marinara Sauce over the dough. Tear up some fresh mozzarella and toss it on. Add basil leaves or whatever toppings you’re feeling. Keep it light. We’re not building lasagna here.
If you’ve got a pizza oven, crank it to 700°F and bake for about 60 seconds, rotating every 20 seconds. If you have a home oven, place a baking stone or overturned sheet pan inside, preheat to max temp for 30 minutes, then bake your pizza for 6–8 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Slice and dig in. It’s high-protein, low-effort, and absolutely worth every bite.
