Bread Machine Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Buying a bread machine off of Craigslist was seriously one of the best decisions ever - for one reason: I can make really good (mostly) whole wheat pizza dough very easily! Basically dump all the stuff in and 90 minutes later it's ready to be put on the pizza pan, slathered in sauce, topped with cheese and whatever else, and 20 minutes later ready to eat. Couldn't be much easier! The recipe I use is a combination of two I found on food.com, modified to my liking: this one for the dough itself and this one for the spices added.

Cauliflower not included!
