Orange Spice Date Bread ( quick bread)
I doubled and baked the 8 small loaves and an 8x4 pan not quite full.
2 T soft butter
1/2 c white sugar
1 large egg
1/2 c light brown sugar
2 c fresh milled Purple Straw soft red wheat
1/2 t baking soda
1tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp mixed spices - I ground cinnamon. Allspice, clove and nutmeg
1 c sliced pre moistened dates
zest of one orange
3/4 c oj
cream sugars and butter. Add egg beat til smooth. Add all dry ingredients. Add OJ and zest. Don’t worry if looks curdled. Butter pan/ pans. 350° 30 min for tiny 8 pan loaves or 45 - 60 depending on larger loaves. So delicious. My Robert said “ it tastes like Christmas!”

So to verify: the recipe amounts you listed above are for a single recipe and you doubled all of these, is that correct?
That flavor combo sounds wonderful!

Thank you Mary. Yes I doubled all of it and it filled the 8 loaf pan I love it . It is a USA pan and very sturdy . I had enough to fill an 8x4 pan about 2/3 full. Made a nice smallish loaf. I found the recipe online .

Time for me to place a new order as I’m out of the Straw berries 😁 and Stardust. This one sounds very flavorful.
Best,

It’s delicious spicy again with some mascarpone! It was the last of 15# of dates!!! I bought them YEARS ago from nuts.com. Have been refrigerated all these years and remarkable when I do my microwave refresh. I have dried Wisconsin cherries to use up . May need to try the Challah w/o chocolate as I don’t eat chocolate 😳. A crime I know lol. c
