    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     2      tablespoons   active dry yeast -- or
                          - or 2 (1/4-ounce) packages
     2      cups          warm water
                          - (about 110 F)
     2      teaspoons     salt
     1      tablespoon    finely minced garlic
     1      tablespoon    finely chopped fresh rosemary
                          - or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
       1/4  cup           olive oil
     2      cups          coarsely shredded raw potato
     1      cup           finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
     6      cups          unbleached flour -- (6 to 7)
                          Additional olive oil

In a large bowl, stir yeast into water to soften. Add salt, garlic, 
rosemary, olive oil, potato, cheese, and 3 cups flour. Beat vigorously for 
2 minutes. Gradually add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins 
to pull away from the side of the bowl.

Turn dough onto a floured work surface. Knead, adding flour a little at a 
time, until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Place dough into an oiled 
bowl. Turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a tightly 
woven towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Turn dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide in half. Shape 
each half into a ball and place onto a well-greased baking sheet. Cover 
with a tightly woven towel and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.

About 10 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 375 F. Place a shallow pan 
on the bottom shelf of the oven. Just before baking, brush each loaf 
liberally with extra olive oil and cut a cross about 1/4-inch deep into the 
top. Place the bread in the oven and put 5 ice cubes into the pan on the 
bottom shelf. Close the door quickly to prevent steam from escaping. Bake 
for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaves reaches 190 
F. Immediately remove bread from baking sheet and cool on a rack.

Yield: 2 loaves
