- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3/4 cup warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest in a warm area for 20 minutes.
While the dough rises, prepare the tomato sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon dried basil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired pizza size.
Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough.
Arrange the toppings: sliced red and yellow bell peppers, sliced red onion, sliced mushrooms, and sliced black olives over the sauce.
Optional: sprinkle 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over the toppings for a cheesy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve hot.
