Go-For-A-Walk Pizza

This easy pizza features a whole grain crust and fresh vegetables from a local farmer's market. Best of all, the dough was mixing and rising while our family went for a walk. The secret? A bread machine!Vegetarian Go-For-A-Walk-PizzaWhole Grain Pizza Dough:Ingredients:

1. Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed above. (That's with the water on the bottom and the dry items on top).
