    In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Add the yeast mixture, oil, and yogurt, and mix to combine. Knead the dough for 7 to 10 minutes until it is soft and slightly sticky, adding more flour if needed.
