1 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons Romano cheese, grated finely
1 pkg. active dry yeast

28 oz can of san marzano tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic, roasted in the oven for 1 hour
1 sweet onion, minced
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

2) For the dough, start by heating up 1/4 cup water to 125 degrees. Add the yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Cover, remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
3) Using a dough hook on your mixer, mix 3 cups of flour, salt, 2 tablespoons of cheese, olive oil, and 2 cups warm water. After it is well combined, add the yeast and mix for 3 minutes. You might need to scrape the sides of the bowl as you mix to ensure it’s a mixed. After about 3 minutes, add the remaining 3 cups of flour and mix another 3 to 4 minutes.
