Process until dough forms a sticky ball. • Transfer to lightly floured surface. • Knead dough until smooth. Add more flour if dough is very sticky. • Lightly brush a large bowl with olive oil. • Transfer the dough to prepared bowl and turn it, to coat with oil. • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in warm draft-free area, until doubled in volume (about 1 hour). • Punch down the dough. • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate. • Roll out the dough. • Pizza Dough is ready.  Now For the Sauce : 1 clove garlic, mashed and minced 1 teaspoon salt 6 ounces tomato paste  8 ounces tomato sauce 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1 tablespoon olive oil dash red pepper, optional Preparation: Combine all ingredients.
