Today was a lazy rainy day. I was in the mood for pizza for dinner this evening and decided to make a Roasted Tomato & Pepperoni Pizza using my pizza crust that uses almond flour, chia, and cheese (it's really good). I roasted a big sheet pan full of halved multi-colored baby tomatoes. It's so easy to do. I simply placed them on a parchment lined baking sheet, drizzled them with olive oil, seasoned them with sea salt and pepper, then roasted them in a 400 degree F oven for about 30 minutes. Instead of removing them from the oven, I turned the oven off and left them inside until it cooled down to allow them to dry out more without cooking them any longer.
I used a new pizza sauce that I picked up a while ago but hadn't tried yet until this evening; Muir Glen's Organic Pizza Sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. After baking my crust, I topped it with the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and small pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese (Bel Gioioso), then added uncured Fiorucci pepperoni and the roasted tomatoes. It was honestly one of the best pizzas I've ever had...period. The combination of flavors of the delicious sauce, cheese, roasted tomatoes and pepperoni on top of a super yummy crust was the best. I snapped a few photos below. Here's a link to the pizza crust I used for this pizza:

several different crusts). Enjoy!

Now I am torn between this pizza crust or your deep dish pizza crust! Last night I made your sandwich bread, the recipe that calls for the ground flax. It is delicious. My husband and I each had a slice with butter. Then I made your sandwich buns with sesame seeds. Another hit. This morning I made your buttermilk biscuits. I had some raspberries and strawberries in the freezer so I whipped up a quick jam that I thickened with Great Lakes gelatin. I put some on one of the biscuits. We had roast beef for dinner so we each had a biscuit with our meal. Tomorrow I plan on making your chicken pot pie recipe with the herbed crust. We roasted the chicken last night and then we cooked the stock overnight. I noticed you talked about Bubbies pickles in the past. Recently we started fermenting vegetables. I made pickles that taste just like the Bubbies. It is easy, the hardest part is waiting a week for the process to be done. I also wanted to tell you that my Wilton donut pan is sticking. I even greased it before putting the batter in and the donuts would not release. I had to pry them out with my little spatula. I also have a dog who doesn't know she is a dog who is used to sampling everything we eat. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.
Hi Maryann,
Wow, sounds like you've bee quite busy baking and cooking away! I hope you enjoy the Chicken Pot Pie. If you briefly put the rolled out dough in the freezer for a little bit it is SO much easier to transfer over the top of your baking dish. That is one of my favorites and I hope to make it soon now that the wether is getting a little bit cooler.
I'm impressed that you make your own pickles. Your roast beef dinner with biscuits sounds yummy. You know, I do believe that for whatever reason the nonstick surface just doesn't last long on those pans. The donuts I made that stuck in them I had successfully made the exact same recipe in them before and after multiple uses, they just begin sticking.
One last note about your dog that likes to sample everything (as mine does). In case you don't already know...be careful if you use xylitol as a sweetener. It is toxic and just plain deadly to dogs. If you use it, be careful not to share those treats with your doggy.
I'm so happy you are enjoying my recipes. I wish I could convince more people to just try the sesame seed sandwich buns because they are very easy to make and very close to regular bread and that seems to be a big sticking point for many hesitant to go grain free...they either do not want to give up bread or have tried some of the awful grain free bread that's out there and think it's all like that. Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying the recipes. It makes me happy to hear that. :-)

Oh yes I know about the X sweetener. I don't use it for that reason. My husband just took sauerkraut out of the crock that he started 3 weeks ago. Such a difference from the packaged store bought one.
