WOW!!! My Dad said "my Mother used to make a bread like this". Now that's a compliment! I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup because of the review that said this was too sweet. I resisted the temptation to add vanilla and cinnamon, and I'm glad I did because this bread doesn't need it at all!

I thought this bread was excellent. I was looking for a nice, dense bread I could eat for breakfast with coffee, and this is it. No butter or other spread is needed; it's perfect as-is. One thing to note: I used nonstick cooking spray instead of greasing the pan, and I would NOT recommend doing this as it makes the outside crust taste a little burnt.

The dates make wonderful little pockets of sweetness that my kids really liked. I didn't change this recipe at all, because I never want to make changes the first time around, and I think it's great just the way it is. But I think that some ginger and nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice would be an excellent match for this bread for Thanksgiving or Christmas. This is now in my recipe box, and I'll spice it up next time.

I will give it five stars because while I did not taste it personally, the people for whom I made it thought it was great and asked me for the recipe. :)
