If you don't have or know the date syrup, use maple syrup or molasses instead of the date syrup. But you well end up with a different taste; it's ok to tray something different and come out with a new taste.
My favorite breakfast is pancake with date syrup ,
Another way to serve with Arabic khobiz (flat bread or pita bread) by mixing date syrup with tahini paste (made from crushed sesame seeds) so tasty, it's like the American style when it comes to peanut butter and jam.
Try it, and hope you like the taste.

I am thinking that I got something wrong, though. Perhaps the kind of rose water I used was too strong, because the infusion of perfume is so strong it pretty much overwhelms everything else that's going on in the bread.
Would Date molasses be the same thing as date syrup? I can't seem to find it anywhere and know of no locations near me where I can find some date molasses. I do, however, have lots of dates and a recipe for date molasses. Your bread looks so delicious that I would really like to try it! Would date syrup produce a similar result?
