Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the unbleached flour and baking powder to remove lumps and aerate.
  3. Add the salt to the flour mixture and whisk to combine evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, toss the finely chopped pitted dates with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to prevent them from sinking.
  5. Add the coated dates, all-bran, brown sugar, and grated lemon peel to the large bowl with the flour. Stir gently to incorporate.
  6. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, beaten eggs, vegetable oil, and active sourdough starter until smooth.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir just until the flour is moistened and no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
