1½ cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3½ -3¾ cups white whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1½ teaspoons salt
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

Mix on dough cycle and rise 1 hour. Divide dough into 2 equal sized pieces. Roll each into a large pizza round. Place on a pizza stone, lined with parchment paper. Prick crust all over with a fork (to allow air to escape and prevent bubbles in your crust). Bake at 500 for 6-8 minutes. Add toppings of your choice and either bake or freeze. To bake: place on pizza stone and bake for 15-20 minutes at 450 degrees. To freeze: completely wrap with plastic wrap and foil. Label. To serve: thaw on pizza stone. Bake as directed.
