Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use store-bought pizza dough. Just make sure it's vegan-friendly if you do.
Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape on a floured surface or directly onto a pizza stone.
Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Prepare the Sauce
In another bowl, mix together tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the pizza sauce.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top the Pizza
Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Top the pizza with sliced cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives, or any other desired toppings.
Bake and Garnish
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious homemade vegan pizza! Customize with your favorite toppings for a truly delightful meal.
