In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
Add 3/4 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the garlic sauce. Finely mince 4 large garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Evenly spread the garlic sauce over the pizza base using the back of a spoon.
Arrange 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes over the sauce.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve hot.
