BBA# 27 Potatoe Rosemary Bread

This is a very tasty bread,I actually made this last week, so I'm a little short on memory of any issues, should have made notes. I do recall that I micro waved the potato instead of boiling,boiling would have been best. As I needed to add some milk to the mashed potato it was so dry.  Used roasted garlic*, fresh garden rosemary for this ,also my loaves were darker then the photo shown.The bread was easy,uses a biga,then mix the rest of the ingredients,knead,rise,shape, rise,bake, cool, EAT!! The best part! Can't say I enjoyed this as much as a sour dough rosemary garlic bread, but it was good none the less.I toasted some slices and spread them with our homemade olive tapenade, delicious!
