Pizza with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil

I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com and it's the best pizza recipe I've ever made. Since the website didn't have a photo, I snapped a photo prior to baking.

Pizza with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil

I substituted my own pizza crust recipe as follows:

Oat Bran Pizza Crust

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Unbleached Flour
1 package (1/4 oz.) Active Dry Yeast
1 cup very warm water, 115 degrees F.
1 1/2 cups Oat Bran Flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Oiled baking sheet

Directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cup unbleached Flour, sugar, salt, olive oil, and 1 cup Oat Bran Flour. Knead in remaining 1/2 cup Oat Bran Flour. This takes about 5 minutes, the dough will be smooth and elastic.

Spray a medium-sized bowl with no stick cooking spray. Place pizza dough in bowl and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 15 minutes. Roll out dough to fit 14- inch baking sheet. Oil baking sheet and carefully place pizza dough.

Garlic And Herb Pizza Dough: Add 2 teaspoons dried basil, oregano, or rosemary leaves and 1 clove minced garlic along with dry ingredients.

I also make my own pizza crust. I use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour.
My son doesn't know the difference. Instead of oiling my pizza pan I use pam spray (less calories)
