Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a baking sheet.

Combine the dry ingredients. Stir in the raisins, currants, and dates.

Mix the wet ingredients, and pour into the flour mixture and stir just enough to incorporate the ingredients.

Turn the dough onto a counter and knead a few times. Separate the dough into 3 pieces and shape into flat, oblong loaves. Place the loaves several inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Remove the loaves from the oven. While hot, slice each horizontally into 8 pieces. Turn each piece on its side and return to the oven for 5 minutes more. Remove the mandelbrot from the oven and cool on the baking sheet. Store in covered container.
