Cinnamon and Date Scone Bread

I made this for a brunch, but left out the dates, and it was a real hit! When I placed the bread in the oven I still had a lot of sauce left (which was supposed to be spread on the bread before forming the loaf), and yet the bread ended up being just a hint too dry. Either serve the sauce with the bread (and then possibly omit the alcohol), or try to roll out the dough even thinner than specified in the recipe, if you can. Nonetheless, this has found its way onto my list of classics.
