Stay Warm with Italian-style Pizza (+ This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

We're making the most of the chilly Indiana weather by cranking on the oven and preparing Janie's Mill Sourdough Pizza Base recipe. It's just the thing to stay warm and enjoy a delicious meal with the family. This one-of-a-kind recipe uses Italian-style pizza flour from Janie's Mill and goes great with Eden Foods tomato sauces, organic grass-fed cheese options from J&B and other local creameries, and tons of yummy toppings, all available at our Chesterton store.

Explore this and other great recipes to stay cozy! Stop by and shop in person or order online for convenient in-store or curbside pickup.
