QUICK GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST with grape tomatoes, basil, and ciliegine mozzarella

This pizza is reminiscent of a caprese sandwich. The bite-sized mozzarella balls, known as ciliegine, have a delicious smooth and luscious texture and retain their shape while baking. If grape tomatoes aren’t available you can substitute cherry tomatoes in this recipe.
