Pizza Dough in the breadmaker

I have a Cuisinart convection breadmaker, and this is the recipe I use from my recipe book.
To make a 2 lb (large) pizza, follow this recipe:

Water, 80-90 degrees- 1 1/3 cups
1 tsp honey or sugar
2 tsp sea or kosher salt
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 1/4 cups bread flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry, instant or bread machine yeast

Place ingredients in breadmaker in order listed, fitted w/ kneading paddle. Select dough/pizza dough. Select dough size (2 lbs). Press START to mix, knead and rise. When dough cycle is completed, deflate dough and use to make your own pizza.

I roll it out on a floured counter and place it onto a round pizza pan that is brushed w/ olive oil. I bake at 375 for 18-20 mins, but eyeball it since all ovens differ. You can tell by the cheese and the texture of the crust if its done or not.
