Whole Wheat Cheaters Pizza

I started making my own pizza dough once I realized that it was one of the few places that my family was getting refined flour. Don't get me wrong, I routinely feed my kids crap. But after having to buy a loaf of white bread from the AMPM, I realized that my youngest son had never seen white bread. He was sceptical of it, and refused to eat a bite. This from a child who refuses to eat anything green, except apples. So that was the end of store bought pizza at our house. I have a simple recipe for pizza dough and almost everything else comes from a can. We now have homemade pizza every Wednesday. It's that simple.
