Whole Wheat Pizza Crust - Bread Machine

I'd been wanting to start making ww pizza, using the bread machine, so when I couldn't make the supper I'd been planning to make because we're rationing milk (having to plan our milk a week at a time has it's disadvantages LOL), I decided this would be a good time to do it. I googled for a recipe and found this one, and dh has declared it a keeper LOL.

2 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup gluten flour
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt (it seemed salty to me, I'll cut this back some next time)
1 1/4 cup water
3 tbsp. olive oil
4 tsp. active dry yeast
cornmeal

Use the dough cycle (or stop the machine after the rising step, but I'd forget for sure, so good thing mine has a dough cycle LOL). Then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. (I just went ahead & sprinkled the cornmeal & turned it out straight onto the pizza stone).

Lightly oil a 15-inch pizza pan (I used a baking stone, so no need to oil) and sprinkle with cornmeal. With floured hands, gently stretch the dough to fit the pan. Continue stretching until the dough covers the entire surface of the pan. Then top the dough with your choice of pizza fillings. We did pasta sauce, on 3/4 or so (for the girls & me) and just brushed the dough w/ olive oil for dh's part. Then black olives & cheese on all of it.

Bake the pizza on the bottom rack of a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.

Whole Wheat Bread - Bread Machine

I've been using a bread machine recipe for ww bread (for those days when I'm just lazy & in a hurry, when we have time to "play" the girls enjoy making ww rolls from scratch using a recipe from the Waldorf Kindergarten Snack Book) and while the bread tastes fine, I've been annoyed by the fact that the top always looks funny (bumpy) and it makes a small loaf, but when I tried doubling it, it overflowed my bread machine pan. So, then I noticed there was an all whole wheat, simple (not alot of ingredients) recipe on www.hillbillyhousewife.com so I tried it last week. The bread tasted good, but there was a huge air bubble in the top half of the loaf that collapsed at the end, so it looked really funny (caved in) and the top half of the loaf wasn't useable for sandwiches and such (I meant to toast them to use as bread crumbs and such, but forgot to do it before they got moldy). So, I tried the recipe again today, figuring the air bubble was a fluke. And it made a BEAUTIFUL load that completely filled my bread machine pan (so about twice the size of the loaves I was getting with the old recipe!) The girls each ate 2-3 slices for breakfast, so it has their stamp of approval, apparently. Here's the recipe:

1 2/3 c warm water
2 Tbsp oil (I used olive oil)
1/3 c sugar (I used honey, and it was a scant 1/3 c)
2 tsp salt
4 2/3 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp active dry yeast

Put in bread machine in the order listed for your machine. Bake using the whole wheat cycle. This makes a 2lb loaf.
