Potato Leek Bread
This is Potato Leek bread from SteveB's "Bread cetera" blog. [1] His breads are amazing, and this one is no exception. The potato and leek go so well together. I used Yukon Gold potatoes instead of the red potatoes called for in the formula. I've made it both ways though and both are good (I think). The only other change I made was to use my firm starter in lieu of the 100% hydration starter.
This is my first try at the "fendu" shape. This shape is traditional for potato breads but I don't see it around much. I don't think I got it tight enough before going into the brotform, it kind of exploded. Oh well, I like the shape, and it's nice to not have to score sometimes.
here's the crumb from the other (small) loaf that was made with this batch of dough:
This one's a winner, and if you like leeks you should try them in this bread :-)
