How to Prepare Tomato Basil White Pizza [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 500°F (or as high as it can safely go) and line a baking sheet with parchment; set aside.
Combine the extra virgin olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, until the garlic softens, about 2 minutes.
Let cool, then separate the garlic from the oil by carefully spooning it out into a small bowl.
Lightly brush the cooled olive oil onto the pizza crusts, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Add the vegan yogurt, vegan ricotta, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to the bowl of cooked garlic and mix until smooth. Spread the mixture on the oiled crusts, leaving about 1-inch of dough on all sides.
As evenly as possible, sprinkle pizzas with the dried thyme, chopped basil, and halved tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle each pizza with an even amount of vegan mozzarella.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness/style of your pizza crusts. The edges should be golden brown, and the cheese should be bubbly and melty.
Remove from heat, add toppings, slice into 6 or 8 pieces, and serve immediately.
Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
