Questions & Replies

  1. Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose? Will it make much of a difference?

  1. This Is It! I've been searching for a date nut bread that's similar to my Mom's and I found it in this recipe. It has the denseness, moistness and flavor I remember. I cut the sugar back to a scant 1/2 cup, but that's just personal preference. My bread book said to let the dates soak in the boiling water for 20 minutes and I did that before adding the other ingredients. I'm so glad I finally found this recipe...it's perfectly delicious! Thank you for posting duonyte!
     
  2. Used a nicely rounded measure of Medjool dates in this very delicious bread, & we were pleased with the results, even if the 2 of us managed to devour it in no time at all! Will be making it again, I know! Thanks for posting it! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar recipe tag]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
