In a glass 1 cup measuring cup, heat a cup of water to very warm (not hot). Stir in a teaspoon of sugar and the yeast granules.

In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and remaining sugar. As it runs, pour in the oil and the yeasty water. Let it run for 3 more minutes. As it runs, add flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides. Open the food processor.

Oil a small mixing bowl and your hands. Pull the dough from the food processor, pat it into a ball, and drop it in the oiled bowl. Roll the dough over once so the top is oiled. Cover the bowl with a towel and place it in a draft free place (the microwave works) for ten minutes.

Make your sauce now: combine tomato puree, onion, garlic and oregano. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover.

On a piece of baking parchment, roll the dough into the shape you want your pizza. Move the dough onto the pan, with the parchment. Bake at 500 F for 5-7 minutes. Prepare toppings while you wait.

Pull dough from the oven, flip it upside down in the pan, and peel the parchment off.

Add sauce, toppings & cheese, then bake 7-10 minutes. Pull it from the oven and let it rest 10 minutes before cutting & serving.
