Totaltime: 1 hour 10 minutes Additional info: Makes 2 medium pizza crusts
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
4 tablespoons quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope instant dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cups water, 110 degrees F
1 tablespoon olive oil plus 1 teaspoon
Preparation
In a food processor, mix the oatmeal into a powder.
Combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. While the mixer is running, add the water and 1 tablespoon of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12 inch round.
