In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, approximately 12 inches in diameter, and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread 1/2 cup of tomato pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a slight border for the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of vegetarian mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange 6 slices of plant-based ham and 1 cup of pineapple chunks evenly over the pizza.
Add 1/4 cup of sliced red onion evenly across the top.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over the pizza toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
