Smiley Pizza With Whole Wheat Oatmeal Crust

Oatmeal crust
2 teaspoons yeast
2 cups white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cups instant or quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups water

Pizza
Olive or corn oil cooking spray
1/2 cup tomato sauce (fresh or canned), or more as needed
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Toppings
Yellow onion, finely chopped
Mushrooms or zucchini, thinly sliced
Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Pineapple, finely diced

To make the crust: Mix all the ingredients in a food processor and blend
for 2 minutes or knead by hand for 5 minutes. The dough will be soft, even
slightly sticky. Lightly coat the inside of a large bowl with cooking
spray. Remove the dough from the processor, place in a bowl and cover with
plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 1/2-1 hour to make the dough pliable.

Preheat oven to 450 .

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or coat sheets well with
cooking spray. Cut dough equally in half. Cut each half into 8 pieces.
Roll each into a ball and stretch out to make a disk about 3-4 inches in
diameter. Place 8 disks on each baking sheet. Spray dough lightly with oil
and cover for 1/2 hour if you have the time (this last step is not
essential).

Divide the tomato sauce evenly among the 16 pizzas. Sprinkle with Parmesan
cheese and then with cheddar cheese. Make smiley faces with the toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbling and starting to brown.

Makes 16 miniature pizzas
