In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) and if using, place a pizza stone inside to heat.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato puree, red chili flakes, and dried oregano. Simmer for 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to the desired thickness for your pizza base.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of baking parchment.
Spread the spicy tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the vegan pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese, followed by the red onion, and black olives.
Transfer the pizza along with the parchment to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve your Vegan Pizza Diavola hot.
