Remember to spread cream cheese on it before eating!
I am a little confused about the dates. are they the sugar coated dates or the ones that are just dried. "chop into 3 slices", what is the end result...finely chopped? I never really noticed dates in the bread, so I was guessing small pieces. I could only find whole or the sugar coated.
Where did you get this recipe!?!?
I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well. The Market House Tavern
