In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Arrange the vegan pepperoni slices evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the longer side. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends under.
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 4 sharp cuts on top of the roll for venting.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of dried oregano. Brush this mixture over the roll.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the roll is golden brown.
Let the pepperoni roll cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
