Super simple and delish, and open for variation...this one I change my normal methodology of making pizza dough. I used fast-rise active dry yeast so I only had to wait about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, place the warm water in first then the honey.
- Sprinkle the yeast on top, agitate the bowl slightly if you have to so the yeast gets immersed in the water. Wait 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
- Add the oil and salt.
- Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
- Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set!
- I get about 4-5 8" mini pizzas out of this. Maybe more if I really rolled it out to make thin-crust.

EASY PEEZY PIZZA DOUGH (BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH)
This is a really easy way to make a good "yeasty" pizza dough! As well as using this recipe for when I'm making pizza, I also use it for when I'm making a focaccia or a calzone. (The preparation time I have given includes the time it takes to make the dough in the machine and the time it takes for the pizza dough to proof - after removing it from the bread machine, 30 minutes.)

- Knead the risen dough lightly.

Steps:
- Stir whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water with a spatula until formed into a sticky ball of dough that pulls away from sides of a large bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 18 hours, until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (280 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Form the dough into a rectangle, and cut it into four equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball, stretching and tucking the dough to create a smooth surface, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- To shape the dough, sprinkle the surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the formed crust to the prepared baking sheet and top as desired. Bake on the bottom rack for 4 minutes, move to the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes more minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the top is lightly browned. Move to cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet for an even cook.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings, as this will make it soggy.
- Be generous with the sauce, but don't overdo it, as this will also make the pizza soggy.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- If you're using a pre-made pizza dough, let it come to room temperature before using it.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavors to create your own unique pizza.
Conclusion:
With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious pizza at home in just 30 minutes. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique pie. So next time you're craving pizza, skip the delivery and make your own instead. You'll be glad you did!
