Whole wheat pizza crust

(From http://www.recipezaar.com/Bread-Machine-Pizza-Dough-With-Whole-Wheat-Flour-137143)

  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
Add ingredients in the order given into the bread machine pan.
Start dough cycle. (On my machine this takes 2 hours).
Once the dough is done remove it from the pan onto a floured work surface.
Roll dough to fit the shape of your pan. This recipe makes two 14 inch round pizzas.
Brush lightly with olive oil and add toppings. You can hold this dough, with just the olive oil, for a couple of hours in the fridge covered in plastic wrap.
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
This recipe is the large sized recipe. It also comes in small and medium.

Notes:
I made a half recipe (using 1/4 tsp salt), which made one normal sized pizza. It was pretty good but definitely had a whole wheat flavor. For toppings, I used: 80% can of tomato sauce (should have used more), 2 small garlic cloves (use more), ~6 leaves rosemary, 2 sprigs thyme, some basil (more is good), some oregano (more is good), ~0.5 oz grated parmesan, ~2/3 of an 8 oz bag of mozzarella, and a light sprinkling of crushed red pepper.
