Apricot Date Chia Bread for K's class snack tomorrow.
It's stuff with apricots and dates. The chia is in the dough.

I should have taken a pic of the inside before I packed it up for K. I cut it up into 24 pieces. And since he only needed 22 for class we taste tested the other 2 It was "smack your Grandma" good! Or as DH said "Shut the front door!" It was funny because the front door was open and when he said it K got up and shut the door!

I am drooling over here.

Got a recipe?

Basic bread recipe (or you could use a mix). Add a couple of Tablespoons of chia seeds to it.
Follow directions to the point of shaping the dough.
Then in a bowl mix together a small jar of apricot jam, 1/2 cup chopped dates, couple tablespoons of honey.
On a jelly roll pan (cookie sheet) spread out the dough, smear the jam mix onto the dough leaving a 1 inch border all around.
Fold 1/3 of the dough into the middle and repeat the other side (like folding a letter). Pinch edges to seal.
Then allow to rise one last time for about 15 minutes.
Bake at 375* for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Allow to cool completely and cut.

I came up with this spur of the moment because K needed a snack for school. It turned out soooooooooooo goooood!
