elementary number theory - Bezout's lemma in Euclidean Domains

I'm wanting to show that given an ED $R$ whose identity is $1$, and two elements $a, b \in R$ whose gcd is a unit, that $\exists x, y \in R $ st $ax + by = 1$. Caveat-- I don't want to utilize the notion of a PID, or of ideals at all directly. Any hints on how to do this?
