Heat up your saute pan with the oil and throw in your onions, peppers, mushrooms and saute over very high heat until brown, add the vegan crumbles and saute together to blend the flavors until they are all browned and grilled, turn the heat onto low and add the mayonnaise and flip around until spreadable. Now, either refrigerate for later use, or set aside to place on dough.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees at least 1/2 hour before baking
Place vegan mozzarella on bottom half of dough, then place philly vegan steak mixture on top of the mozzarella on the bottom half, place a little more mozzarella on top of the mixture, carefully flip over, make small knife mark slices on top and carefully put on pizza stone or baking sheet over light oil spray, place in oven until light to medium brown, remove and serve.
