I doubled the recipe and followed it exactly. The Date Nut Bread is good, a bit dryer than I thought it would be (the loaves baked in less time than noted in the recipe; all ovens vary), but still tasty. This was more of a tea bread. I was looking for a denser, moister bread, like the Thomas' version I remember as a child.
Great flavor.
I added a cup of nuts instead of 1/2 cup, but this bread is delicious - very, very good. Good with butter or soft cream cheese.
