Whole Wheat Pizza Dough


I'm lazy. If you know me at all, you know this for fact. I HATE having to exert myself and will find ways to cut corners. Unfortunately, this means I don't make lots of crusts/doughs/breads from scratch as they require WORK!

This dough recipe is an exception. Oh wait, there is NO WORK involved. It's a VERY easy peasy pizza crust!

You do need a bread machine!

I use a 2 lb recipe which "says" it makes 2 12" pans, but I like my crust thin, and this will make 3 12" pans for us.





Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup WARM water
2 T olive oil
2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 T Italian seasoning
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp dry yeast

Directions:
Add all ingredients to bread pan in the order given. Set on "dough" setting of bread machine.

When dough is done, remove to floured board*. Separate until 2 or 3 evenly-sized balls. Lightly sprinkle pizza pans with cornmeal. Hand pull crust to start shaping into pie pan. Use dough roller to finish shaping crust. Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool (if you have the patience). Top with your favorite toppings and bake at 400 until pizza cheese is golden brown.

* Or, place in bowl greased with olive oil, turn dough over to coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
