The order is important only if you were planning to delay a cycle (giving the yeast and other ingredients time to react before actually running a cycle). I have done these for years and never had any problems.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy them!!

Has that been a problem for you?

We always do half and half with the whole wheat flour. I turn 1/3 of the dough into breadsticks and the other 2/3 use for the crust. The sticks get done quickly so we can enjoy them while the pizza finishes baking. We make our sticks "Little Caesars" style -- bake them plain and when they come out of the oven spread with a little butter and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.

Then on pizza night all you have to do is top it, still frozen, and toss it in the oven (ok, place it gently in the oven) Takes a bit longer at the outset, but really speeds things up on the "gee, what should we have for dinner" side.<br /><br />Another idea is to break the dough into several balls and make "personal" sized pizzas so each person can top their own.<br /><br />Oh, and I always make my pizza 1/2 whole wheat.

Did you do all wheat flour or half and half? I will have to try that sometime. One of my other recipes used half and half and I really liked the chewy texture that the wheat flour gave it.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me know! I am so glad that you guys enjoyed it.
