A healthier take on pizza dough using whole wheat flour, perfect for your bread machine.
Add the warm water, olive oil, salt, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start it. This process typically takes about 2 hours.
Check the dough after 10 minutes of mixing; it should form a smooth ball. Add a tablespoon of water or flour if needed.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a floured surface.
Use a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking without drying out the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each to fit your desired pizza pan size.
Let the dough rest for a few minutes if it resists stretching.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating for a crispier crust.
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil and add your favorite toppings.
Avoid overloading with toppings to ensure even cooking.
Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked.
Rotate the pizzas halfway through baking for even cooking.
Remove the pizzas from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Let the pizzas cool for a minute before slicing to prevent the toppings from sliding off.
