Oat Flour Pizza Dough Food

OAT FLOUR PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, add oats. Blend into a fine flour; set aside.
• In a large bowl, add sugar and warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top and gently stir once. Let sit 5 minutes, until yeast is foamy. If there is no foam, the yeast is dead; start again with new yeast.
• Add olive oil and salt to the bowl; whisk to combine.
• Add oat flour and whole wheat flour to the bowl. Stir until a dough ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough. Knead for 5-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth.
• In a large bowl coated with oil, place the dough. Cover with a damp warm towel. Let sit for 1 hour, until dough has risen.
• Punch dough. Divide into two even dough balls; knead each until smooth (alternatively, you can freeze one dough ball). On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a 1/4-inch thick circle. Fold in the edges to form a raised crust.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly flour a baking pan. Transfer crust to pan. Bake for 18 minutes.
• Add desired toppings and bake accordingly.

OAT FLOUR PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
• Stir in the wet ingredients. Do NOT add more than 1 cup of water at this stage.
• When you can't stir any longer, use your hands to knead the dough, adding a little more water if needed.
• Once you are done kneading the dough, note that the longer it rests, the more the flour will absorb the liquid. So you either need to spread it over your pizza pan immediately while it's still easy to work with, or you'll end up needing to knead in more water to make the dough more pliable. Your best bet is to spread it over a pizza pan immediately after mixing.
• Bake at 400 F. for 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Top your pizza and return to the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
