Note
Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
Substitutions: You can substitute walnuts or pecans for the dates if desired, though the flavor profile will change. For a dairy-free version, omit the milk powder and use a non-dairy milk alternative in the water ratio.
Tips: To measure water accurately, pour it into a transparent liquid measuring cup and read the measurement at eye level. For flour (if adding manually outside the machine), spoon it into a standard dry-ingredient measuring cup and level it off with a knife or spatula to avoid packing. Note that 1 1/2 tablespoons equals 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons.
Safety: Ensure the bread is fully cooled before slicing to maintain the structure of the loaf.
