OUTBACK BREAD RECIPE (SWEET MOLASSES BREAD)

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients: all-purpose and whole wheat flour, salt, cocoa powder and yeast.
• Add wet ingredients: lukewarm water, oil, vegan honey or maple syrup and molasses. Mix until dough is formed.
• After dough is formed, knead for 8 to 10 minutes if using a stand mixer, 12 to 15 minutes if doing by hand. When ready, dough will feel tacky, smooth. If using a stand mixer, dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl, but not at your fingers.
• Cover dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise until it doubles. It will take about 1 hour and a half. Remember to leave it in a warm spot.
• After the first rise, deflate dough. Flour the surface you'll be working on. Divide dough into 4 pieces.
• Using your hands or a rolling pin, open each piece in a rectangle. Roll into a cylinder and pinch to close.
• Place rolls in a lined baking sheet, lightly coating the bottom with cornmeal (if using). Leave some space between them as they will get bigger.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise for 40 minutes more or until rolls almost double, and look puffy and light.
• Just before baking, you can top the rolls lightly with cornmeal for more texture.
• Baking. Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover loaves and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let loaves cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Store rolls in an airtight container or sealed bag after cooled.

HONEY WHEAT BUSHMAN BREAD RECIPE - AN OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE COPYCAT!

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix together the water, oil, coloring, honey, and molasses in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
• Add the wheat flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the water mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let the mixture sit for 20 minutes (this will give the flour time to absorb the liquid).
• With the mixer running on low, mix in the yeast, and add the bread flour, one cup at a time. Once the flour is absorbed, increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough clings to the hook and almost clears the sides of the bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
• Divide the dough into four pieces. Shape the dough into 4 logs (divide the dough into eight pieces and form it into 8 logs if you want smaller loaves like Outback). Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheets.
• Loosely cover the dough with greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. While the dough rises, move the oven rack to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dust the risen dough with cornmeal. Bake, the bread for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F, rotating the pans halfway through baking (if you're making eight smaller loaves, then you will bake for about 20 minutes).
• Transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool at least 1 hour before serving.
