Quick Date Nut Bread

I love homemade bread, but I'm not willing to spend a LOT of time. This date nut bread hits on all cylinders! Homemade, delicious, and easy!

How to Make Bread without Yeast

Is it possible? You're darn tootin' it is!

As a 'rogue' baker, I'm a gunslinger in the kitchen, and I look for shortcuts and easy simple ways to make homemade bread.

I watched my Grandma make bread and yeast rolls every week, usually on Thursdays. And, believe me, I'd sit there for hours because it was almost an all day affair.

Self-Rising Flour Bread

Self-rising flour is one way to make bread. And, a lot of simple bread ideas, flat breads, and more are made with just a few simple ingredients. Flour, water, salt, sometimes oil or butter.

Easy Bread Fast

I'm known for my easy baking recipes, and when I do bread it's no different. While my sweets and bread might be rather rustic and natural 'looking', I assure you they're totally delicious!

Here are some of my favorites!

Date Nut Bread Recipe

Now this date nut bread recipe is so simple and easy. There's just a tad bit of maple syrup, which you could adjust depending upon how sweet you want your bread.

I preferred a slight sweetness because I love to butter, toast under the broiler and add jams and jellies.

Date Bread

Another ingredient that will add sweetness to the bread? The dates! Oh, yes, they're packed with antioxidants and natural sweetness! Perfection.

Date and Nut Bread

Nothing goes together better than dates and nuts. It's very Middle Eastern, and when I wasn in Israel and Morocco, I loved munching on both. They were abundant from street venders. Such healthy snacks!

A few other things about this easy date bread recipe.

Kefir is needed. Some important things to not change:

  • Use whole milk kefir
  • Kefir acts like 'yeast'.
  • Regular self-rising flour. I've not tried with GF.
  • Additional baking powder surely helps the bread.

Yeast Free Bread

Kefir, a fermented milk, can come from any type of milk, coconut, rice, goat, cow, sheep.

I used cow's kefir. It's usually made by culturing milk with kefir grains that give a mix of yeasts and bacteria.

I find my kefir in the section with yogurts at the grocery store.
