Categories: Breads

Serves: 1 Servings

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c Bread flour or unbleached
-flour
2 tb Bread flour or unbleached
-flour
1/3 c Quick-cooking oats or oat
-bran
1 1/2 ts Rapid Rise Yeast
1 ts Sugar
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Skim milk or water plus
2 tb Skim milk or water

Instructions:
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.
