My mother used to make this recipe in a long loaf pan which I don't believe they make any more. Fortunately, I have her pan and whenever I make this it sure brings back such happy memories.

I love how easy this recipe is to follow. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to make this bread without any problems.

This bread is the perfect way to use up leftover dates. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional bread, as it's made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with honey.

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

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for dried cranberries. The bread turned out great! The cranberries added a nice tartness that complemented the sweetness of the dates.
