Whole Wheat Pizza Dough


Pizza Dough (for bread maker)
Large - 2 pounds

Water, 80-90degrees: 1 1/3 cups
Honey or sugar: 1 teaspoon
Salt: 2 teaspoons
Extra virgin olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Bread flour: 3 1/4 cups
Whole wheat flour: 3/4 cups
Yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine: 2 1/4 teaspoons

Put the ingredients in the order listed into your bread maker. When it finished mixing, rising, etc...before it begins to "bake" the bread, pull it out and either chill in the fridge until you're ready to use it, or roll it out immediately for pizza. I usually roll the dough out and then toss just the crust in the oven for maybe 7-8 mins just long enough to make it crispier. Then top it with sauce and your favorite toppings. And throw it back in for about another 10-15 mins, or until crust is lightly brown and the cheese is melted. Bake @ 400 degrees.
