I got this recipe from The Secrets of Fat-free Italian Cooking by Sandra Woodruff. It's very tasty, easy to make in a bread machine, and very filling! Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups bread flour or 1 1/4 cups unbleached flour, plus |
2 tablespoons bread flour or 2 tablespoons unbleached flour, divided |
2 tablespoons whole grain cornmeal |
2 tablespoons wheat bran |
2 tablespoons quick-cooking oats |
1 1/2 teaspoons fast rising yeast |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup skim milk, plus |
2 tablespoons water or 2 tablespoons skim milk, divided |
1 teaspoon honey |
Directions:
1. Place 3/4 C of the flour and all of the cornmeal, wheat bran, oats, yeast, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to mix well.
2. Place the water or milk and the honey in a small saucepan, and heat until very warm (125 F to 130 F.) Add the water mixture to the flour mixture and stir for 1 minute.
3. Stir in enough of the remaining flour, 2 Tablespoons at a time, to form a soft dough.
4. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface and turn the dough onto the surface.
5. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually adding just enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth, satiny ball.
6. (Be careful not to make the dough too stiff, or it will be hard to roll out.) Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the ball of dough in the bowl.
7. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 35 minutes, or until doubled in size.
8. When the dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a ball, and turn it onto a floured surface.
9. The dough is now ready for shaping, topping, and baking.
10. To make pizza dough in bread machine: Place all of the dough ingredients except for 2 Tablespoons of the bread flour in the machine's bread pan.
11. (Do not heat the water or milk.) Turn the machine on to the rise , dough , or manual setting so that the machine will mix, knead, and let the dough rise once.
12. Check the dough about 5 minutes after the machine has started.
13. If the dough seems too sticky, add more of the remaining flour, a Tablespoon at a time.
14. When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and proceed to shape, top, and bake it as directed in the recipe.
