No need to worry
And a very good question. All of the recipes here can be made without using a baking stone.

If you can find any terra
If you can find any terra cotta based large cooking vessel you can use that, perhaps turned upside down to get a large flat surface. Another option is to use a large flat cast iron surface should that me more readily available.

Or you could, as I have, buy a not too thick unglazed terra cotta floor tile at your local building materials-warehouse... works fine for me!

this is what I use as well. However it was suggested that some "cheap" tiles may have harmful impurities in it . The first lot that I bought was half an inch thick, these ones you see in the picture are 3/4 inch thick.

Here is a site that can explain it. Look down the page to about the 4th paragraph.
You might have to place a stone onto the lowest rack and not the floor of the oven.
Please note, I and many others do not bake on a stone. But do use a normal baking sheet.
