I am following this date bread recipe for the past 4 years and every time I try it, I fall in love with it again.

The Dates

The key ingredient in this bread recipe is the dates. The sweet, dried, seedless, or pitted dates work best for making bread.

Apart from their sweet taste, dates are known for their highly nutritious profile. They are high on fiber and an excellent antioxidant.

Many believe that dates are a great source of energy, as well. So if you are yet not including dates in your diet, now you have enough sweet reasons.

When it comes to cooking, I love dates because they are a natural sweetener.

The best way to substitute dates for white sugar is to make date paste, as in this recipe. It is made by mixing dates with water in a blender.

Here are a few of my favorite date recipes:

Prep Work For Date Nut Bread

Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before starting to make the bread batter.

Roughly chop 1 cup walnuts and set aside. Next, chop the dates. Don’t forget to remove the seeds from the dates before chopping.

Next, soak chopped dates in boiling water. Mix nicely and set it aside till the mixture cools down a bit. Meanwhile, you can combine the dry ingredients.

Before preparing the loaf batter, preheat the oven and grease the loaf tin with butter or line with parchment paper.

The Coffee Glaze

This coffee glaze is utterly simple to make and yet it is finger-licking good.

Here are a few points to keep in mind for making the coffee glaze:

Use a good quality, strong instant coffee powder to make the glaze.

Do not add too much hot water while whisking the coffee and sugar. After whisking the coffee and sugar, the decoction should be silky smooth, creamy and pale brown in color.

Make sure the butter is slightly warm and melted while adding in the whisked coffee.

Once the glaze is ready, immediately pour it over the cake. Do not set it aside for too long otherwise, the butter will start solidifying especially in the cold regions.

Storage Suggestion

You can store date nut bread at room temperature for 1 – 2 days.

For longer shelf life, it is best to store the date bread in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It remains fresh for a week.

Before serving you can reheat the bread slice in the microwave for 10 – 20 seconds.
