Pizza Pizza!!!

This is my second attempt at making a paleo pizza.  The first attempt had a crust made of brown rice flour.  I know, not quite paleo, but damn close enough.  The sauces were similar and the meats were the same.

This time I used almond meal as the base of the crust.  Almond meal does not like to stay stuck together so you need some kind of binder.  I used almond flours.  I know what you are thinking, this guy is nuts...

So I mix the dough and break it into 5 different parts.  I put a ball of dough in the center of the pizza stone, then suround it like a four leaf clover with the other 4 balls of dough.  I had to use a lot of extra flour at this point since the dough sticks to everything.

You cannot roll the dough so you have to just stretch it out and connect it.  Once the dough is stretched out I put it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

To create the sauce I take 4 roma tomatoes and dice them down.  I take half an onion and do the same.  I take olive oil and bring it to a good heat and throw the onions in until they start browning.  Once this happens I add the tomatoes, 2 cloves of diced fresh garlic, some diced spinach (Just for fun), black pepper, salt and oregano.  I let this fry up for a bit until the tomatoes start to break down.  I then take the heat down until it is at a simmer.

During this time I also take 1 pound fo pork sausage from, where else, Gramen Farm.  This is a greaseless sausage like no other.  I let the 1 pound cook on both sides before I break it up.  I then break it up into large pieces.

Once the dough is ready to take out of the oven I take the sauce and plop it down thrustly.  Spread it across the dough and then add the sausage.

I still sprinkle a little cheese to keep the eating audience happy.  Then I put it back in the oven for about 10 minutes and serve.

It is fricking awesome.

Tomorrow I am going to try to bake some kind of a coconut flour/cocunt/carob chip cookies.  I have no idea if they will work, but in my mind they make sense.
