2. Combine unbleached flour and semolina; blend well; Stir 1 cup of the flour mixture into the yeast mixture; mix thoroughly; Let batter rise 20 minutes, then stir down and add the remaining flour mixture, 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt.
3. Lightly flour work surface and turn dough onto it; Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes), flouring surface lightly as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Lightly oil a large bowl and place dough into it; Cover with dampened dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes; Punch down and shape into a ball; set aside.

6. Make topping: Lightly oil baking sheet; Place sliced potatoes in a bowl; sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon olive oil; Toss well to coat evenly; Place on prepared baking sheet and roast until browned (about 10 minutes).
7. Place remaining ingredients into blender or food processor, and puree to a paste; Spread thickly over pizza dough; Place roasted potatoes on top; Bake pizza until dough is lightly browned (about 15 minutes); Serve hot.
