Instructions:
Instructions: 1. Combine the yeast with sugar and water in a large mixing bowl and set aside until bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 mins.

2. Whirl the oats in a blender or food processor until they are the consistency of coarse flour. When the yeast is thoroughly dissolved and frothy, about 7-10 mins, add the oat flour, whole wheat flour, oil, salt and enough of the white flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly

floured surface and knead for 5-7 mins, until smooth and elastic, adding the remaining flour as needed.

3. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in it, turn it once to coat, cover with a damp towel, and allow to rise in warm spot for about 30 mins, or until doubled in size. While rising, prepare toppings and grate feta.

4. For Simple Basil Tomato Topping. Mix all ingredients in bowl and set aside. Or for Sauteed Basil Leek Topping. Heat oil in saucepan, add leeks and salt, cover and cook on med-low for 7 mins, stirring now and then. Add tomatoes and roasted red peppers, cover and cook for 10 mins, stirring a few times. Remove from heat, stir in basil, and set aside.

5. When dough has doubled in size, preheat oven to 450F and prepare a 12" pizza pan with cooking spray or oil.

6. Punch down dough, turn out onto lightly floured work surface, and knead for 1 min. Using your hands or rolling pin, stretch dough into large circle. Place dough on pan and continue stretching until it covers pan.

Using fingers, make slightly thicker edge of crust around perimeter of the pan. Very lightly spray or oil the dough and allow it to rise in warm place for 10 mins. Evenly spread prepared topping on dough, top with grated feta, and bake for 15 mins, until dough is golden and cheese is melted.
