Nutritional yeast is a vegan alternative with a cheesy flavor.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 tbsp of active yeast, and 1 tbsp of brown sugar to create the starter.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of all purpose flour, 2 tbsp of oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1 to 2 tbsp of brown sugar.

Combine the starter with the flour mixture and knead to form a dough.

Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roll out the dough and place it on a baking sheet.

Spread 3 tbsp of tomato sauce over the dough, then add the toppings: pepperoni, ham, and 2 cups of shredded cheese.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes, or until edges are toasted and cheese is melted.
