DATE NUT BREAD

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pitted chopped dates
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3/4 cup boiling water
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan.
  • Put the dates, walnuts, baking soda, salt and shortening in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes.
  • Using a fork, beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the flours and stir; the batter will be too stiff to mix well. Add the date mixture and mix briskly until the batter is well blended. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Check the loaf often; it is done when a few moist crumbs cling to a straw inserted in the middle of the loaf. The bread will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven. Do not overbake, or the loaf will be dry.
  • When the loaf is done, slide a knife around the edges of the pan and turn the loaf onto a rack to cool completely. This bread freezes well.

MOIST DATE NUT BREAD

A moist not too sweet version of a figgy pudding but made with dates and minus the spices. You could try covering with buttered foil and steaming it for a even moister version. This can also be baked in a (28 ounce) can.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Dates: Using fresh, plump dates will give the bread a moist and flavorful texture. If using dried dates, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Toast the Nuts: Toasting the nuts before adding them to the batter will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the bread.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving, let the bread cool completely. This will help it to set properly and make it easier to slice.
