CHOCOLATE BREAD WITH DATES AND PISTACHIOS
Ilove dates in bread—they are very sweet just on their own, and lend their sweetness to
the bread. The date palm is a versatile, important plant. It is a tree that continues to
grow and give fruit for over 100 years, letting old leaves fall off as new ones are
formed, the stack growing higher and higher. There is a myth that after the world was
created, Allah made the date palm out of the material left over from fashioning Adam.
This is a delightful bread, replete with the exotic flavors of the desert—dates and pista-
chios. Serve slices of it spread with cream cheese.
