Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    In a large bowl, soak the shredded bread in water for about 5 minutes, until softened. Drain excess water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dates Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine chopped dates, honey, and a little water over medium heat. Stir until the dates are softened and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a serving dish, layer the soaked shredded bread at the bottom. Pour the warm date and honey mixture over the bread, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, top with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature.
