Subject: RE: BS: This morning's bread baking
Sorry - English colloquialism...

In many houses in the UK, the closet that contains the water heating boiler often contains a wooden rack in which clothes which have just been washed and dried (or part-dried) can be 'aired' - i.e. left by the warm boiler to dry completely.

So, it's a closet which is warm and dry - a great place for allowing bread dough to rise!
