• 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
• 1 cup warm water (between 105 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Approximately 2 and a half cups of all-purpose flour, with additional if needed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Dough Preparation Methodology:

Dissolve the yeast along with the sugar in warm water within a substantial bowl suitable for use with an electric mixer. Stir until combined. Add the salt into this mixture. Gradually incorporate two and a half cups of flour alongside the vegetable oil while continuing to blend until dough forms into a cohesive ball that cleans away from the bowl’s sides. If necessary, add more flour one tablespoon at a time—this should take about five minutes.

Knead this dough until it becomes smooth and elastic—a process lasting around ten minutes. Once kneaded well enough to be pliable yet firm cover it with cloth allowing it rise undisturbed within an area free from drafts; let rest approximately one hour.

Sauce Creation Process:

Add all remaining ingredients except cheese into your food processor blending them thoroughly till smooth consistency is achieved; pause intermittently scraping down sides if required—approximately one minute suffices here (Note: Sauce may be prepared up five days advance kept refrigerated).
