Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. In a large bowl, stir the sugar into the warm water, sprinkle the yeast over it, and let stand 10 minutes until foamy.

2. Stir in the flour until a soft dough forms, then knead on a floured surface about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.

3. Combine the peeled garlic and olive oil in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat about 20 minutes until the garlic is very soft, then mash the garlic into the oil and let cool slightly.

4. Stir the dried oregano, basil, marjoram and sage into the garlic oil and set aside.

5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Press the dough out on an oiled baking sheet or pizza pan, keeping the edges slightly thicker.

6. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Brush the border with some of the herb garlic oil.

7. Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the sauce and drizzle the remaining herb garlic oil over the top.

8. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp at the edges.

9. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the hot pizza, arrange the sliced avocado on top, and serve.
