Date and Pecan Bread

Nothing beats the smell and taste of home baked bread. This moist loaf is delicious served with nut butters, sugar free jam, or even mashed up avocado with sea salt and chilli flakes. Once you get the hang of this bake, you replace the dates and pecans with you favourite dried fruits and nuts. It keeps fresh for up to seven days and is delicious served as it is or popped in the toaster.
