Add the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt to a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add in the oil and water and process for about 15 seconds to form a ball. Use a spatula to break it up and incorporate any ingredients that aren't combined. Process another 15 seconds to finish kneading.
Pour onto a wok surface with a little flour and fold over itself a few times. Form a ball and place into a well oiled bowl. Cover and allow to rest overnight.

Pull the dough from the fridge. Dump it out to a floured surface and gently fold over itself a few times. Form a ball again, making sure it is well floured on the outsides of the ball. Cover and allow to rise and rest for 2 hours.
Add the onions to a frying pan with the oil and cook slowly about 45 minutes, stirring often, until caramelized.
Remove the sausage meat from the casing and cook on high heat to brown and cook through.
Mix the tomatoes and cream and add a pinch of salt.
If your gnocchi need boiling, you can boil them for a few minutes first in well salted water according to the package instructions. If not, go to the next step.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the gnocchi. Toss and cook on high heat to brown on all sides.

Preheat oven with a stone or baking steel as high as your oven will go. Mine is 525.
Prepare a peel and work surface with some flour and cornmeal.
Gently stretch the dough to form the pizza and raised crust. transfer the dough to the peel.
Top with the tomato sauce, then spread the caramelized onions to form a layer. Next add the sausage and about 3/4 of the cheeses.
Add the gnocchi and all the butter from the pan. Top with the remaining cheese.
Transfer the pizza from the peel to the baking stone. Cook about 8 minutes or until the crust is browned and cooked through.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
