Easy Pizza Dough

(adapted from a recipe in The Breadlover's Bread Machine Cookbook)

1 1/3 c. water
1/4 c. olive oil

2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour

1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour

1 T. sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast

Add ingredients to bread maker in order listed above.  Set "dough" cycle (usually 1 1/2 hours).  When finished remove dough and separate for two thin crusts, or keep together for large thick pizza crust.  Can also be used for Pizza Bites.


Optional: Add 1-2 teaspons of garlic and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning prior to adding the flour for seasoned dough for breadsticks or pizza.  

For Freezer: Place in gallon size Ziploc bag, seal and freeze.


To Serve: Thaw dough 24 hours in fridge.  Remove from fridge about an hour before using to come near room temperate.  Remove from bag and bake for pizza (400 for approx. 10 minutes, top then bake 10-15 minutes longer) or use for other recipes.
