In a medium bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar, then stir until the yeast and sugar dissolve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Roll or stretch the dough into a flatbread, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush this mixture evenly over the flatbread.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the flatbread followed by the vegan mozzarella cheese.
Season with ground black pepper and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Slice the flatbread into desired sizes and serve warm.
