1
In a saute pan, heat the olive oil.

When the oil is hot, add the onions, leeks, and shallots.
3
Saute for 15 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized.
4
Stir in the garlic.
5

7
Using an electric mixer with a dough hook, whisk the yeast, sugar, and warm water together, for 2 minutes to dissolve the yeast.
8
Add the onion mixture.
9
Add the salt and flour.
10
With the mixer on low, mix until the dough starts to come together.

Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl and crawls up to dough hook.
12
Grease a mixing bowl with the vegetable oil.
13
Place the dough in the greased bowl and turn once.
