I have a new favorite! I was a little dubious because I don't care for sourdough, but this is not a sour tasting bread. I forgot to pick up dates at the store so I chopped up pitted prunes to substitute. Not a great substitution as they are a little tart and seem to clash with the mild flavors of the raisins and nuts. I will be making this again and again. I can see making it into a hot cross bun loaf by changing spices and stir-ins. The texture of this bread is moist and springy and is ever so toast-able! Butter and a tiny skiff of cinnamon sugar make it even more amazing.
