Honey Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

So I recently discovered WinCo, & more specifically the bulk foods section. Don’t laugh at me…I love that store! Why had I never shopped there before? Well, besides the fact that we just moved near one 4 months ago. The first time my family went, we spent like 1 1/2 hours shopping, mostly browsing the bulk foods. I have a confession, I have never used wheat flour in my recipes at home & I thought now would be a great opportunity to get a little bit from the bulk foods, & try it out using my favorite easy pizza crust recipe, but tweaking it to a healthier whole wheat version. My husband hates wheat bread. I only buy wheat bread, so he’s forced to eat it, but I have never baked anything whole wheat until now, & guess what? He LOVED this pizza crust, & so did I! It is really flavorful & that hint of honey just takes it over the top.

I am so happy about our homemade pizza, that I am even going to share a little secret to how I make my special pizza sauce: 2 parts tomato sauce to 1 part BBQ sauce. Think it sounds gross? I dare you to try it! We love the Bullseye Kansas City BBQ Sauce. The BBQ adds some sweetness to the sauce & it is just lovely on pepperoni pizza. Anyway, now that you know all my secrets to homemade crust & my favorite sauce, you need to try it asap! Let me know what you think!
