Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Mix these dry ingredients well using a whisk or fork.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3/4 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it starts to come together into a dough.
Transfer the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour and gently knead it for about 3-5 minutes until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but should not stick to your hands too much. Add more flour if needed.
Place the dough on a large piece of parchment paper. Using your hands or a rolling pin, spread the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness, usually about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the dough (on the parchment paper) to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to firm it up slightly before adding toppings.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your choice of low sodium toppings. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are heated through.
Slice and serve immediately.
