This copycat recipe replicates the beloved Outback Steakhouse honey wheat bread, offering a soft, slightly sweet loaf with a touch of molasses and cocoa for rich flavor. Perfectly textured with whole wheat and bread flour, and topped with rolled oats, this bread is ideal for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying warm with butter.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups warm water (100°-110°F)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons molasses

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 cups bread flour

Topping

  • Rolled oats for dusting loaves

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir together the warm water, vegetable oil, honey, and molasses until well combined.
  2. Add Whole Wheat Flour: Add the whole wheat flour to the wet mixture and mix to incorporate.
  3. Mix Cocoa, Yeast, and Salt: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, active dry yeast, and salt to the dough. Stir until the ingredients are blended thoroughly.
  4. Rest the Mixture: Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to help activate the yeast and develop the dough.
  5. Add Bread Flour: Gradually stir in bread flour, one cup at a time, mixing for about 3-4 minutes until the dough clings to the hook and nearly clears the sides of the mixer. Depending on humidity and flour absorption, you may not need all the bread flour.
  6. First Rise: Cover the bowl tightly with greased plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes.
  7. Divide and Rest: Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Cover each piece loosely with greased plastic wrap and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Shape Loaves: Shape each piece into a loaf. Sprinkle rolled oats over the top for texture and visual appeal.
  9. Prepare Loaf Pans: Place each shaped loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  10. Second Rise: Let the dough rise again until doubled in the pans, about 30-60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) toward the end of this rising time.
  11. Bake: Bake the loaves for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool: Remove the loaves from the oven, let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Molasses: Robust molasses is recommended for deeper flavor, but regular or light molasses works well too. Avoid blackstrap molasses as it tends to be bitter.
  • Cocoa Powder: Dutch-processed cocoa powder can be used for a slightly darker loaf and a milder chocolate flavor.
  • Nutrition Values: Nutrition estimates are approximate and can vary based on ingredients and portion sizes.
