In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 250Β°C (482Β°F).
In a small bowl, mix crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the sauce.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a circle or rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.
Cut into slices and serve immediately while hot.
