Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over it.
Spread the pizza sauce over the prepared dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the crumbled vegetarian sausage, red bell pepper slices, red onion slices, and black olives over the cheese.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the top.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious vegetarian sausage pizza slices!
