Tips & Warnings

Do not over beat the batter as the mixture can become too thick.
Place a piece of foil over the top of the bread loosely after 15 minutes of baking so the top doesn't burn.
Let cool before cutting.
Serve with fresh fruit or fresh whipped cream.
All ovens bake differently ~ Check the bread periodically while baking to ensure the top doesn't burn or the foil hasn't fallen off.

on 9/21/2009 i made this with carob chips & walnuts added in, too~ it ended up being a little grainy- would probably dissolve the sugar in the milk next time & see if that helped!
oh~ ha ha well i suppose if i had remembered to add my egg substitute in there it may have helped with the consistency some!! :D
sheesh...
