I'd always assumed that the yeast needs the sugar; is that not
correct? Date sugar is supposedly a much more healthful sugar than any
of the more processed options, but I get that you are talking about
flavour and taste, not the health "issues" of sugar (gosh, has anything
been *more* dietarily demonized thatn sugar and salt??)

Have any of you tried Manna bread? It's usually in the freezer or
fridge section at the health food store - it's made with all kinds of
sprouted this and raw that..it's pretty tasty, although it's more
muffin-like and sticky in its consistency, and it's short and small so
you can't really make a sandwich with it. But it's tasty sliced up on
its own or topped with nut butters!
