Bacon Date Bread image

There is a standing joke among friends that when I'm asked to bring a dish to a party, it always contains bacon. My partner loves bacon-wrapped dates and my grandmother got me hooked on date-nut bread, so I made a sweet and salty combination of these recipes.-Terrie Gammon, Eden Prairie, Minnesota

The bread was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

The bread turned out too dense. I think I overmixed the batter.

The bread didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the bread to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil to the batter next time.
