Homemade Pizza Crust Recipe

This is my go-to pizza crust recipe. It has never failed me. And I’ve heard from many of you, that it has never failed you either!

If I make it with half white flour and half whole wheat flour, I add 2 Tbsp extra water. And I don’t generally make it “full whole wheat”…It’s just too grainy for our liking.

Save yourself a few bucks and make your own crust next time you’re having pizza. As long as you get it started in the bread machine in time (my machine’s dough cycle takes 1.5 hours), the actual “hands on” time is less than the time it would take you to order a pizza!

Hope you enjoy!
