Last week, the51-year-old actressshared a new episode ofPretend Cooking Showon her personal Instagram account. The video featured herself making one of her family’s favorite recipes, Pizza Cracker, which is basically a sauce-less pizza with fresh herbs and olive oil.

视频中,雀鳝ner reveals that Pizza Cracker is astaple recipein her household. Although you can use a cookie sheet to cook your dough, the actress swears by apizza stone. “Pizza dough just needs a super-hot place to land,” she says in the clip. “You can even use a cookie sheet, if you want, inverted. But nothing works as well as a pizza stone. This will turn your oven into, you know, a pizzeria!”

Garner goes on to explain why you should follow the directions exactly, especially when you’re adding the warm (not hot) water. “You do not want your water hot to the touch,” she adds. “You’ll be so sad because you’ll burn your yeast.”

After adding a special ingredient (beer), Garner combines everything in herKitchenAid mixerbefore letting it rest. Once the dough is shaped, she puts it in the oven until puffy—only then does she add toppings.

We’re not totally sold on the idea of a sauce-less flatbread, but there’s only one way to find out if it’s any good.
