In a liquid measuring cup dissolve the yeast into the water. Let stand for about 10 minutes until foamy.
1 cup warm water, 1 package active dry yeast
In a large bowl combine flour, olive oil, salt, sugar, and the water mixture. Stir until well combined, and it forms a stiff dough. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Use 1/2 this dough for the pizza. Wrap the other 1/2 in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to a month.
Preheat oven to 475º F. Use butter to coat a baking pan. Sprinkle cornmeal evenly over the top. Set aside.
Butter for greasing pan, 1 Tablespoon cornmeal
In a small sauce pan heat the olive oil over low heat. Crack the garlic clove, and let it sit in the oil. Heat gently for about 10 minutes.
2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove garlic
Roll the dough out on a floured surface. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Brush about half of the garlic oil over the crust. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Spread bacon evenly over the cheese.
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 3 slices bacon
Arrange the thin potato slices evenly over the pizza. Brush everything with the remaining garlic oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and a little dried oregano if using.
6-7 small potatoes, salt and pepper to taste, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Bake for 15-20 minute until the crust is golden, and the potatoes are tender.
