Yield Makes one 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons safflower oil, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups hot water
1 cup pitted dates, chopped
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Tips:

- For a sweeter bread, use Deglet Noor dates, which are known for their caramel-like flavor. If you prefer a milder flavor, use Medjool dates. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make sure your bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it to hold its shape. - Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
