| 1 envelope, or 1 tablespoon dry active yeast | ||
| Honey | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Vegetable oil | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Salt | 1 Teaspoon | |

Directions
1. In a medium-sized bowl combine the water, yeast, honey, oil, and salt. Mix well and set in a warm place until it starts to bubble vigorously.
2. Stir in the whole wheat flour and dry milk. Gather together, kneading in enough of the extra flour to make a soft dough that can be kneaded on a lightly floured board.
3. Knead for 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Divide in half and stretch or roll each half into a 12-inch circle to fit a pizza pan.
4. Bake on the bottom shelf of a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Top with sauce and toppings as desired and bake for 10 minutes longer, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 minutes longer.
