minutesThis bread is very tasty and very good toasted. I chopped up the dates and placed in a bowl the night before with the hot tea.I made the bread in the morning. I made this for my Father in law who is an avid date fan. Every time they go to palm Springs, he must get a date shake. He loves this bread. It is super moist. I like it sliced and toasted with butter and more marmalade.
