2. Place the water, olive oil, Bake Mix #1, wheat gluten, wheat bran, protein powder, Splenda, flour, sugar, skim milk powder, yeast, and salt in the bread machine.

3. Program the bread machine for pizza dough, or knead and first rise.

4. When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough as far as possible. Cover with a towel, and allow to sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Grease two 12-inch pizza pans.

5. Roll the dough again. Place it on the pizza pans, and roll it out to fit each pan, using a small rolling pin or another small cylindrical object.

6. Cover the crusts with pizza sauce, toppings, and grated cheese. Bake on lowest oven rack for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crusts are browned.
