Ooey Goey Yum Pizza

I found this recipe on a site called "it doesn't taste like chicken" This pizza is incredibly good. Next time I need to wait for it to cool a bit so I don't burn my mouth again.

Recipe:
1/2 of a Medium Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Cups of Mushrooms mixed or all one kind
1 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Several Grinds of Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Dried or Fresh Thyme, and more for garnish
1 Tablespoon Vegan Butter (or more Olive Oil)
1 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour
1 Can of Coconut Milk (Not lite!) a little over 1 1/2 Cups
1/2 of a Cube of Vegetable Bouillon, or 1 1/2 teaspoons  Vegetable Broth Powder (Not liquid broth!)
2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
A Few Grates of Lemon Zest
Pizza dough
 
Heat your oven to 425F. Chop up your onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When they start looking golden, add the mushrooms and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and thyme.
Sauté until everything is almost cooked, but not completely. They will finish cooking in the oven. Dump the mushrooms out into a bowl, and set aside. 
  So in the same  pan, add a 1 tablespoons of vegan butter or olive oil, and your flour. You are making a roux. Whisk it together, this will form a paste, and let that paste cook for about a minute, but do not burn!
Pour the can of coconut milk in the pan. Whisk it all up so the roux is evenly mixed in. Add the lemon juice, the vegetable bouillon. Let it thicken and cook down.
While the sauce is thickening, shape your pizza dough. Sprinkle the counter and dough with a bit of flour so that it isn’t sticky, and just stretch and pull and squish until you get a nice pizza shape. Now put on a lightly greased pan.
Your sauce should be ready now. To test, it should leave a nice thick coat on the back of the spoon. If it doesn’t seem to be getting thick, whisk in another tablespoon of flour, and cook longer, if your sauce gets too thick, whisk in a bit of water.
When your sauce tastes awesome and is the right consistency, spread your onion and mushroom mixture on the pizza. Then pour your sauce on top of all of that. Garnish with lemon zest and more thyme.
Right about now, you may feel that you have made a horrible mess and ended up with soup pizza. Don’t worry! It will be awesome when it comes out of the oven. So, put that pizza in the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until it looks golden and delicious.
The coconut sauce needs to set and thicken, so it doesn’t slide off the pizza. So let it rest for 10 minutes.
