    Ingredients
  • 2  tablespoons cornmeal
  • 1-1/2  to 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
  • 2  tablespoons Italian seasoning blend, divided
  • One  1/4-ounce package (about 2-1/4 teaspoons) quick-rising yeast
  • 2  teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2  teaspoons garlic salt, divided
  • 1  cup water
  • 1/4  cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4  to 6 sundried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1/4  cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Lightly spray 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray; dust with cornmeal.

In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oats, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, yeast, sugar and 1 teaspoon garlic salt; mix well. In small saucepan, heat water and 1/4 cup olive oil until very warm (120°F to 130°F). Add to flour mixture; mix well. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Pat dough into pan, pressing dough out to edges of pan. Using fingertips, poke indentations over surface of dough. Brush dough with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt. Arrange dried tomatoes across top; sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let rise in warm place 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Heat oven to 400°F. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into strips or squares. Serve warm.
