BLESS THIS MESS

Old Fashioned Date Nut Bread

The dates used in this loaf melt into a sweet nothingness unlike a raisin that stays chewy. This bread is moist and very similar to a traditional sweet bread!

Let’s get started!

Throw away your previous opinions that Date and Nut Loafs are only being made by your Grandmothers and make this beautifully flavored, rich loaf.
