Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this involves adding the wet ingredients (warm water, olive oil, and honey) first, followed by the dry ingredients (salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour), with the yeast added last.
Set the bread machine to the 'dough' cycle. The machine will mix, knead, and allow the dough to rise, which typically takes about 90 minutes.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet. For a crispier crust, roll it thin, or for a chewier crust, leave it slightly thicker.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined pizza pan or onto a preheated pizza stone.
Add your desired sauce, cheese, and toppings to the pizza crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
