3820.0. "BREAD: Dutch Sugar Bread" by OSL09::ELIZABETHA (Elizabeth Allen) Fri Jul 09 1993 05:04

    
    A couple of guys from the Netherlands have been here in Oslo working
    with one of my colleagues.  The first day they had brought something
    they called "sugar bread", which they said was a specialty from
    Holland.  It was nice and gooey on the outside, and had an irregular
    strip of something a bit gooey running irregularly through each slice. 
    I recognized the flavor of cinnamon in the goo on the outside, but this
    was not an ordinary cinnamon bread as I know it.  It was delicious.  
    Does anyone recognize this.  Especially, does anyone have a recipe?

3820.1Krentebrot perhaps ??JURA::ARBERE::ARBEZThu Jul 15 1993 08:5612
Hello,

If it looks like a cake with raisins in it, and a band of almond paste in the 
middle, perhaps it was "krentebrot met spijs".
The way I know to get it is to buy it in a baker's!!
You could ask to dutsch people to have a recipe because I'm french, and I don't
know how to do it.

If it looks like wafer, perhaps it is "stroop-waffels". It is 2 wafers, and 
between, there is a sirup made of sugar, cinnamon ...

Regards.

    Elizabeth:
    
    Suikerbrood = sugar bread, baked with small lumps of sugar on the outside 
    and inside. The sugar gives the bread a characteristic gooey (syrupy) look
    & feel (& taste). Sort of half-way between cake and bread. I'll see if I
    can dig up a recipe.
    
    Estelle:
    
    Krentenbrood = bread with raisins, with or without almond paste. Not
    the same thing as suikerbrood. Regarding these "stroopwafels" - France 
    may have lots of excellent cookies and wafers and biscuits, but why I 
    have to travel 800 miles for some decent stroopwafels is beyond me ;-)
