many years ago in New York City Arnolds Bakers bread Co. made a small
packet of a sweet loaf bread called date nut bread. It seems maby
they no longer make it. I have not seen it in the stores over 20
years now. I would love to find a Recipy for that bread or even
something that comes close to it. They always served it with cream
cheese and coffee ect.
Hello Lauren,
There are no Arnold's bakery recipes to be found, and there are dozens of different date nut bread recipes.
Below are a couple, but I have no way of knowing what the Arnold's bread was like, so they may not even be close.

together dry ingredients. Beat egg and sugar. Add dry ingredients
with wet alternately. Add walnuts pour into loaf pan stand 20
minutes. Bake at 325 degrees 50 to 60 minutes. Flavor improves
after 24 hours.

2 pkgs. Fleischmann's rapid rise yeast

I. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar,
undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and
oil until very warm (125 to 130 degrees); stir into
dry ingredients. Stir in eggs and enough remaining
flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured
surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Cover, let rest 10 minutes.
II. On floured surface roll dough to 18 x 9 inches.
Spread with apricot jam to within 1/2 inch of edges;
sprinkle with dates and almonds. Roll up from long side
as for jelly roll; pinch seam to seal. Form into ring
and pinch ends to seal. Place seam side-down on greased
baking sheet. With sharp knife, cut slits, 3/4 through
dough at 1 inch intervals. Turn each section on its side.
Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in
size, about 20 to 30 minutes. Parts I and II can be done
the night before. Keep risen dough in refrigerator.
III. In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes
or until done, covering with foil after 15 minutes to prevent
excess browning. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack.
IV. Make Apricot Glaze: Combine sieved apricot jam, oil and
lemon juice.
V. Brush Coffee Bread with Apricot Glaze while warm.
