To prepare the dough, combine the gluten-free flour, water, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth. (Note: The specific gluten-free dough process may vary; follow package instructions for your specific gluten-free flour blend if available).

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).

Thoroughly grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with cooking fat, such as butter, ensuring the bottom and sides are well coated.

Place the prepared gluten-free dough into the greased cast iron pan. Press the dough down gently with your fingertips to evenly cover the bottom of the pan, extending slightly up the sides.

Spread a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Spoon dollops of red pizza sauce over the mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the sauce and cheese layer, covering most of the pizza's surface.

Carefully place the cast iron skillet with the assembled pizza into the preheated 500°F (260°C) oven. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Once baked, remove the hot pizza from the oven. Using a metal spatula, carefully pry the pizza from the sides of the cast iron skillet. Lift the entire pizza out of the skillet and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the wire rack and place the pizza directly onto a wooden cutting board. Grate additional Parmesan cheese over the hot pizza, as desired.

Use a mezzaluna or pizza cutter to slice the pizza into individual wedges. Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the sliced pizza before serving.
