Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil plus additional for brushing
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
• 1⁄4 teaspoon thyme
• 1⁄2 cup almond flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg (free range, grass fed)
• 3⁄4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105-115°F)
• Tomato paste or tomato sauce

Directions

1. Special equipment: an 11- to 12-inch pizza pan; an offset spatula
2. Lightly oil pizza pan. Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 325°F.
3. Mix flour, salt, & spices and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add water and 1 teaspoon oil and mix until just combined, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Mixture will be thin and more like a batter than a dough. Increase speed to high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
