Potato Bread from Foggia

Here's my sourdough adaption of pane di patate - Italian potato bread, using wholewheat flour.

It's absolutely delicious! Will go with anything I think. Good plain, buttered, with jam or cheese..actually I had some with blue cheese! And as mentioned in the original recipe its great toasted. It will be a tasty side to the two lasagnes I have prepared for today, one beef and one spinach (from the garden.) (You can easily guess that I am having spinach.) The English spinach at the moment is prolific and gorgeous in salad with a simple oil/vinegar dressing, sandwiches and other dishes. Right now it's raining!! (YAY )- so everything in the garden is getting it's favourite drink. THIS ..http://www.ercps.com/pasta/breads/bread_pot.shtml is the original recipe.
And here are some links showing more of the wonderful foods from Puglia. http://www.itineraweb.com/english/tosuitalltastes/5ei4.htm

In the third link there are two recipes using Arugula commonly known here as ROCKET and that's probably because of the speed with which it shoots up. There is lots growing in the garden and I want to try both recipes..I want to try lots of them!In the third link there are two recipes using Arugula commonly known here as ROCKET and that's probably because of the speed with which it shoots up.
