TOPPING CHOICES
Combine flour, yeast, salt and xanthan gum in large bowl. Stir in 1 cup water, olive oil and honey. Use hands to work dough (dough will be soft and crumbly). Add just enough of the remaining ¼ cup water to hold mixture together. Knead dough in bowl 5 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Lightly grease 12-inch pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal, if desired. Flatten dough into round disk; press dough into pan. Add sauce, desired toppings; sprinkle cheese over toppings.
Bake in 425 degree F. oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese melted. (Timing varies according to amount and number of toppings.) Use a sharp knife or pizza wheel to cut into wedges.
