I got this recipe from a swedish magazine.

It's great for breakfast with a cup of coffee smileys/smile.gif

Yes, raspberry and oats - how much better could it get...

unless you added chocolate in there somewhere ;o)

and isn't it wonderful that we have a forum originating from Arizona, hosted by some one in Canada, where a baker from Norway posted a Swedish recipe that caught the eye of someone in Israel!

I'm planning on making this in the hope I'll end up tall, blond, long-legged...and can ski.

 

[evan]

Marilyn, I probably shouldn't tell you this, but >>>

I'm only 5'7", I'm a brunette and definitely not on the skinny side smileys/bigsmile.gif
I also hate skiing!

And I have been eating this bread like there's no tomorrow! smileys/smile.gif))

It says to bake it at the BOTTOM of the oven. (more)....

I've never heard of that.

Can anybody tell me why you would
do it that way?

 

[marilynfl]

Hey, I'm 5'7", a brunette, "circle with slash thru it" skinny...and I can't ski either! We're...

transcontinental twins!

 

[evan]

- it means, on the lowest rack. Sorry - I'll change that.>>

Thanks for seing that one smileys/wink.gif

 

[evan]

OMG! That is too funny!!! smileys/bigsmile.gif (nt)

 

[angak]

Flax and yogurt in it too---"healthy coffee cake" !

 

[yama-d]

I figured that was what it meant, but my question was (more)....

....my question was why bake it
on the LOWEST rack? I've never
seen that in baking instructions.

 

[evan]

I don't really know, but

here we usually bake all kinds of breads - not cakes - on the lowest rack. I have always thought it's because the crust won't turn brown so fast - and so it's easier to avoid the crust to burn.

 

[yama-d]

OK, that makes sense.

I don't know if it applies to quick breads, but a yeast bread is often slid onto a hot surface...

like a baking stone or the floor of a brick oven. The heat from below causes a quick rise.
