Dates are among the best of all things, and I don't use them nearly enough. This recipe will fix that! Your bread looks wonderful, zainab. Are there actually three kinds of dates in your photograph?

It looks as if it has a moist, tender crumb. The cardamon must give it a great taste and the sesame seeds on top is a good idea. This will be great for my weekend breakfast with coffee.
If the only dried dates I have are sweetened, should I rinse to remove the sugar? I usually don't bother when I eat them straight from the bag but it seems like a good idea when I use them in baking.
Hi christina,
Sorry for taking so long to reply,you do not need to rinse sweetened dates,because my bread not too sweet.
