I used almonds, walnuts, cashew nuts and pistachios. And I’ve used dates, dried apricots, sultanas and raisins roughly chopped. And for spices I used cinnamon, caraway seeds and cloves all grounded.
This bread is very moist. You can have it for breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea. It is just perfect.
