Paul asked for a fatfree pizza crust without milk. This is one I often
use. This and many others are in the archives. Kathleen

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups bread flour or unbleached flour
2 tablespoons bread flour or unbleached flour
1/3 cup quick-cooking oats or oat bran
1 1/2 teaspoons Rapid Rise Yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup skim milk or water plus
2 tablespoons skim milk or water
1. Place 3/4 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.
