Pass It On Bread Starter And Date Nut Bread Food

DATE NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray or butter your 9x5 loaf pan and, if desired, line it with a sling of parchment paper so you can remove the loaf easily for slicing.
• Put the dates, butter, baking soda, salt and brown sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Cover with the hot coffee.
• Stir and let it sit for 15 minutes.
• Whisk in the egg, extract, brandy, and baking powder. Fold in the flour and mix well.
• Fold in the walnuts.
• Transfer to your loaf pan and spread out evenly.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes. I cover with foil after 30 minutes to prevent the top from getting too brown. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it. Moist crumbs are fine.
• Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan to cool completely before slicing.
• If you don't plan on eating right away, don't slice, just wrap the cooled bread in plastic and store on the counter or in the fridge.
• To freeze, let cool completely, then wrap in plastic, and then in foil. Use within 3 months.

DATE NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan.
• Put the dates, walnuts, baking soda, salt and shortening in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the flours and stir; the batter will be too stiff to mix well. Add the date mixture and mix briskly until the batter is well blended. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Check the loaf often; it is done when a few moist crumbs cling to a straw inserted in the middle of the loaf. The bread will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven. Do not overbake, or the loaf will be dry.
• When the loaf is done, slide a knife around the edges of the pan and turn the loaf onto a rack to cool completely. This bread freezes well.
