In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt, mix well. Mix warm water and 2 tablespoons oil and pour into tube with motor running. Process till mixture comes together into a dough, about 30-35 seconds. Add 1/2 onion mixture and process to combine. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Flour your hands and knead dough, adding in a few more tablespoons of flour, if necessary for dough to become smooth and no longer sticky. Rub a bit of olive oil in a medium sized bowl; place dough in, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm spot, for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°
