TDD Date and Nut bread

Alhumdulillah, day 1 of Ramadaan ❤️. How was the first fast for everyone? This date and nut bread was a chance bake, I wasn’t even videoing the process; but once I started making it, I knew it was something you guys would love 😍. So you have to save this and give it a try!! I was making my usual simmit (you guys know that recipe it’s very simple) and decided to use some of the dough to attempt this date and nut bread. I simply flattened and added toppings which I’ll include in the recipe below 🩷. I then served it for Iftaar with yoghurt and dukkah as well grapes and cucumber. A beautiful combination of flavours! TDD Date and Nut bread 2 tsp instant yeast 1 tsp salt 1 tblsp sugar 4 cups flour (I used cake flour) + 2-3 tblsp if required 1 and 1/2 cups luke warm water 1/4 cup oil Add flour, salt, sugar and yeast into your stand mixer and give it a mix. Add in your water and oil and start to mix until the dough comes together. It should still be sticky. Add the extra flour if the dough does lnot come together ( I did not have to). Next knead dough for about 8 minutes until dough is soft but no longer sticky. Set dough aside for about 90 minutes to rise. Cover and place in a warm place. Once the dough has risen, turn it onto your counter top with a little dusting of flour. Separate dough into 8 portions. Flatten each portion like a small pizza with a slightly raised edge. Brush with a little of the molasses and water mix if you’re making simmit as well. Add sliced dates, sliced almonds, pistachios and pecan nuts, press slightly into the dough. Sprinkle dessicated coconut over and drizzle a generous amount of honey. Add some toasted sesame seeds (from the simmit) and a sprinkle of ground cardamom. Bake at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the edges with some ghee.
