Gluten Free, Vegan Pizza Roll

Soooooo my brother and his girlfriend were coming to dinner, along with my sister and my mother, so pizza was in order. I thought it would be fun to riff on pizza but go with vegan, gluten free, grain free, and super yummy. This hit it out of the park. I will definitely be making this again. With a dough made of tomato sauce, almond flour and coconut meal, and a filling made of spinach and cashew with some lovingly sauteed onion for good measure, the flavours are fantastic. Easy to make, and pretty to serve.
















ingredients:

dough:

1 1/4 cup tomato sauce puree

1 tsp sea salt

black pepper 

1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup ground chia seeds


2 cups almond flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

4 tbsp coconut flour



filling:

cashew vegan ricotta and spinach dip

1 1/2 cups cashews, soaked for at least 4 hours, drained.
300 g package frozen chopped spinach
1 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp nutritional yeast (2 tbsp)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
black pepper
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp)

directions:
puree in the food processor until homogeneous and creamy


sauteed onion:

2 onions sauteed in coconut oil with a pinch of sea salt


directions:
1. roll the dough flat
2. spread with spinach dip
3. sprinkle with sauteed onion
4. roll up
5. bake for 60 minutes
6. let cool for a few minutes then cut and serve


and it's fabulous the next day.
