In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough lightly in the bowl for about 2-3 minutes, then cover the bowl with a damp cloth.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to the highest setting, around 250°C (480°F), and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, dust a clean work surface with gluten-free cornmeal.
Transfer the dough to the work surface and gently press it into a circular shape, about 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
Take the hot pizza stone or baking tray out of the oven and carefully place the dough on it.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza, leaving a small border around the edge.
Distribute the fresh mozzarella slices evenly across the pizza.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned and the crust is golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
