In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the bowl and coat it lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the lower part of the oven.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured pizza stone or baking sheet. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle.
In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Spread the sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top the pizza with fresh pineapple chunks, sliced bell pepper, and sliced red onion.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
