Add the toppings as you wish and bake further.
The vegan cheese:
Melt the vegan butter on medium heat in a sauce pan then gradually start adding the flour and whisk until thickened.
Slowly add the warm milk in and keep whisking until thickened.
Add the rest of the ingredients saving the vinegar for last. Let cool before adding on pizza.

Sautee grated garlic in 1 tsp olive oil, add the rest of the ingredients in and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat.
