Recipe - Oatmeal Pizza Dough

1 One fourth cup Bread flour or unbleached
flour
2 tablespoon Bread flour or unbleached
flour
1/3 cup Quickcooking oats or oat
bran
1 One half teaspoon Rapid Rise Yeast
1 teaspoon Sugar
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One half cup Skim milk or water plus
2 tablespoon Skim milk or water

1. Place Three fourths cup of the flour and all of the oats or oat bran, yeast,
sugar, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to mix well. Place the milk or
water in a small saucepan, and heat until very warm (125 to 130 degrees F).
Add the milk to the flour mixture, and stir for 1 minute. Stir in enough of
the remaining flour 2 tablespoons at a time, to form a soft dough. 2.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface and turn
the dough onto the surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually adding
just enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth satiny ball. (Be
careful not to make the dough too stiff, or it will be hard to roll out.)
3. Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray, and place the ball of
dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise
in a warm place for about 35 minutes, or until doubled in size. 4. When the
dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a ball, and turn it onto a
lightly floured surface. The dough in now ready for shaping, topping, and
baking.
