Really like this breadSeptember 29, 2009By jbowie71
"I've made this bread a couple of times now in my bread machine, and I really like it. It makes a very moist, sweet bread. A couple of alterations: I mix the cinnamon with the dates and add them both at the beep, since my bread machine instruction manual says to be cautious about adding cinnamon to bread recipes. Also, the dates mix in better if they are added just a little bit at a time. Finally, each time I've made this, I ended up with stripes or swirls of dark and light bread, where the dark bread is moister and sweeter. I've finally decided it must be the brown sugar not mixing evenly, so next time I make this bread I'm going to be sure to break up the brown sugar when I add it."
