Instructions

1. Blend all oatmeal thin-crust pizza dough ingredients together until you have a smooth sticky dough.

Pizza, pizza

Pizza has a rich history. A friend from Venice told us once a story, that pizza was the servants food during Renaissance. Rich people in Italy ate their meals on a flatbread, so the servants took the rests of their meals and heated up with cheese. What ever the story of pizza is, one thing is for sure – pizza is delicious.

Happy Cooking and Buon Appetito!
