Notes
Baking dish size: Use a medium 8×8-inch (2-quart) baking dish, or a 9×9-inch dish (slightly thinner layer), or a 7×11-inch dish for a similar volume. Avoid much larger dishes or the recipe may bake too thin and dry out faster.
Dates: use 3 to 4 dates for the filling, depending on the desired sweetness. Or omit them entirely.
