Place all of the ingredients in your Bread Machine and set for "DOUGH ONLY". My bread machine will knead the doug and complete the first rising in 1 1/2 hours.  Once the dough has completed the first rising remove it from the bread machine and form a round  loaf .  Place on floured parchment paper to and allow it to rise for around 1/2 hour our or until almost double in size. After rthe second rising has completed place in a pre heated 450 degree oven for around 20 minutes or until light golden brown. This bread will brown very quickly so keep and eye on it .  Total Time 2 1/2 hrs

"Pane di Patate" Italian potato bread. This bread is very common in  "basilicata" the area that my family is from. My grandmother used this dough for Zeppole as well. This  bread is particularly good with rich meat sauces and stews.
Special Note: The starch in this bread will cause it to brown very quickly so you will need to keep a watch on the bread during the baking.
