1 1/4 cups warm water, divided |
1 teaspoon sugar |

4 1/2 cups flour, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (i like mine garlicy) |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder (optional if you don't like a slight onion flavor) |
oregano, thyme and italian seasoning (adds a lot of flavor!) (optional) |
