BRAN DATE QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pour 2 cups boiling water over chopped dates.
• In a separate bowl, beat lightly 2 eggs.
• Add brown sugar to egg mixture slowly, beating constantly.
• When these ingredients are creamy, add 1 cup whole-wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda.
• Add half the date mixture and the rest of the whole-wheat flour, bran, and vanilla.
• Add the remaining date mixture and fold in chopped pecans.
• Place the dough in lightly-greased loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour.

DATE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• Place the dates in a small bowl and sprinkle with the salt and baking soda. Pour the boiling water over the mixture and allow it to sit until it cools.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer (or a whisk and a lot of elbow grease), beat the sugar and butter until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the date mixture (water and all) and then fold in the flour. The batter will be very stiff.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and, using a rubber spatula, smooth out the top so the loaf is even. Bake until the loaf is dark golden brown, a toothpick tests clean when inserted into the center of the loaf, and the bread is firm to the touch, about 40 minutes. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before turning it out of the pan and slicing it. Leftovers can be stored in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days (if the slices get a bit dry, you can revive them in a toaster oven or regular oven set at 300 degrees F for a few minutes before serving).
