In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease a 10-inch round deep-dish pizza pan with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle it with cornmeal.
After the dough has risen, transfer it to the prepared pan and spread it evenly, ensuring it goes up the sides of the pan to form a crust.
Layer the mozzarella cheese evenly across the bottom of the crust.
Mix the tomato sauce with the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes; then spread over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce and add your chosen gluten-free toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
