In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F).
Lightly oil a 9x13 inch baking pan and press the risen dough into the pan, pushing it to the edges.
Let the dough rest in the pan for about 15 minutes to relax.
Crumble vegan Italian sausage evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle half of the nutritional yeast over the sausage crumbles.
Spread the vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sausage and dough.
Drop spoonfuls of marinara sauce across the top of the cheese, leaving some spots bare to achieve the classic Detroit ‘racing stripes’ look.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining nutritional yeast over the pizza.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice into squares and serve warm.
