Pizza

Return

Here is a quick and easy pizza which I developed from the idea of using oat bran instead of all white flour to make a pizza. The quantity of flour can be adjusted to suit whether you desire a thin pizza base, or a thicker crust.

Ingredients:

Base

1 cup oat bran or rice flour

1 cup 5 grain flakes flour

1 ½ cups self-raising flour

1 egg

250ml skim milk or water

Olive oil

Topping

Tomato paste

1 cup bacon pieces

¼ zucchini

½ red capsicum

1 cup thinly sliced onion

10 sliced olives

1 large tomato

Chopped parsley, black pepper

2 cups crumbled Feta cheese or

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

Lightly spray a deep tray or casserole dish with the olive oil

Combine the base ingredients and shape onto the dish

Thinly slice the vegetables and put onto the base. Sprinkle

with cheese.

Bake in a 200 degree oven for 20 minutes

Serve with a green salad

Tip: Oat bran flour can be ground in a coffee grinder and

combined with ground 5 grain flour to make a crispy base.

Oat bran flour also helps lower Cholesterol, as per '8-week Cholesterol Cure' by Robert E. Kowalski
