Whole Wheat Pizza Dough for Bread Machine

by Jessica Watters

Want to make pizza a little healthier?  Here is my favorite whole wheat pizza dough recipe for bread machines:

Makes two doughs 14-16 inch pizza size

1-1/4 cup water
2-1/2 tbs olive oil
3 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp dry yeast

Place all of the ingredients in the order listed into your bread machine pan.  Place pan in the bread machine and start your dough cycle.  This recipe takes 1 hour and 30 minutes in my machine. 

Once your dough is done and has risen, you need to oil up your hands and punch the dough down (gently).  Remove the dough from the pan and place on hard surface.  Rub dough with oil and slice in half.  You can freeze the dough at this point by gently wrapping it in wax paper and placing in a airtight container in the freezer.

Or you can gently punch the dough down more and shape into pizza crust.

Top with your favorite toppings and bake on a pizza stone or pan at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.

Enjoy!
