  • Add the almond flour, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bowl and stir to combine. Mix until everything is well incorporated. *Once the dough is cool enough to handle, you can knead it until smooth (this is often easier than mixing with a spoon).

  • Line a 12” pizza pan with parchment paper and spread the dough into a thin layer to the size of the pan. *Alternatively, you can top the dough with a second sheet of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten it.
