For dough: In a food processor, combine 1 cup flour, the yeast, and sugar.
Pulse on and off to mix. Add 1 1/3 cups hot water. Add salt & remaining
flour. Bend until ball forms; then 10 seconds more. You may have to adjust
the dough by adding more water/flour. Dough should not be too stiff or too
soft. Let rest/rise for 10 minutes or so.
For sauce: In a saucepan, cook onion and garlic in oil over moderate to low
heat, stirring after 5 minutes. Add sugar, thyme, basil, oregano; cook until
onion is soft. Pour into food processor and process until pureed. Return to
pan and cook for 15 minutes. Cool before using.
