Vegetarian
(Vegan Optional)
(Carnivore Optional)

US Measurements
3 cups flour (get the most generic looking bag possible, bonus points for bread flour)
1 cup water full to the brim
2 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp Active Dry Yeast (Instant works too but you will get a different texture)
1 tsp salt

Optional: 2tsp combined weight Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Parsely

Mix thoroughly, kitchen prep gloves can keep it out from under fingernails. Do not ingest any of the dough, the yeast is a bacteria which can turn the food in your belly into alcohol and cause serious damage. If dough stratifies, you didn't add enough water. If dough is too sticky, you didn't add enough flour. Dough should have smooth slightly shiny texture and be stretchable and fold able easily. Cover with wet cloth, I have a lot of cheese cloths at home for this purpose. Knead again in a couple of hours, if the cloth won't release you need to get it wet again. After a couple hours, put parchment paper on a pan and generously oil, knead and roll dough into final shape on pan, cover again for a short rise while preheating oven. It may at this step be filled with mozzarella, jalapeno, and/or other toppings of choice. Sometimes I precook some vegan blackbean patties and corn to shove inside.

Mix one egg with water in a cup or bowl and beat with a fork or small whisk. You will apply the egg wash before baking and then 3 times while, such as every 10 to 15 minutes.

Bake between 350F for 45min and 425F for 30min, or until it begins to darken to a caramel color on the top. Remove from oven and place another wet cloth over the top for 20 minutes. The egg wash and wet cloth will make a thin soft crust, but are completely optional.

If you bake a couple of loafs on the weekend you can safely package and freeze them and thaw throughout the week or month.

Gen z and I've never used a food delivery service in my life

I think what's missing from the discussion is that virtually no-one is getting food delivery every day.

Cheapass Genx here. We're admittedly too lazy to cook ourselves and prefer to spend that time on hobbies instead.

But food-delivery got so bad AND expensive here (Germany) that we switched to hiring a cook instead. He passionately loves his work, we love the food, everyone's happy.

Millennial here, cooking your own food is "cheap af" now? I tell you, fresh produce and meat ain't cheap where I live! My food tastes better than takeout anyway, f that noise. 😄

When people tell me they get food delivered that isn't a classic range of delivery foods (plus Ethiopian) so they can not be disturbed doomscrolling or binging TV, I immediately think less of them. Especially when it's food that very obviously doesn't travel well.

In the time it takes to pick something and get it to you, you can cook 1 of 900 million things that will be better. Even when drunk. Even when high AF. FFS, even frozen pizza is faster then delivery. Let alone the cost. Soggy-ass fry eating MFers deserve the cold sad food you eat.
