If you’re like me then when you think about Outback the first thing that comes to mind is probably the bloomin’ onion. But my daughters go there for the bread. They both, but especially my oldest, love Outback bread!
You know what I’m talking about, right? Those little loaves of dark brown bread served hot with cups of butter? They are obsessed with that stuff (I mean, it is pretty delicious…) so I decided it was something I needed to learn to make at home.
The recipe I’m sharing today is inspired by this one from Lana’s Cooking. I liked her recipe alright, but felt it was unnecessarily complicated, so I modified the ingredients and instructions to fit my needs. Feel free to do the same with my recipe if needed! I’m a big proponent of ‘you do you’ when it comes to cooking and rarely follow a recipe exactly as I find it.
So anyway, copycat outback bread. I usually make it to go along with soup, and then my aforementioned oldest daughter eats the leftovers for several days after. We always let our kids pick the meals on their birthdays and it would not surprise me at all if she were to ask for pizza, tacos, and copycat outback bread She has very eclectic tastes and adores this bread.
Even though it is the dark brown color of pumpernickel bread, it is definitely not that. Pumpernickel is a sourdough bread made with rye flour and this bread is made with yeast and wheat flour. The rich brown color of this bread comes from cocoa and molasses in the dough. It is also a fairly sweet bread because of the molasses and honey in the recipe, which I suspect is why the girls like it so much.
It really is a crowd pleaser, especially when served hot with lots of butter!
The instructions are pretty straight forward. Just proof the yeast, add in the wet ingredients, then the dry ingredients, and mix. Knead until you get a nice firm dough that holds it shape and then let it rise. Once it’s risen, form it into loaves, rise again, then bake. See? Simple! Not a lot of steps and no fancy or time consuming techniques.
An easy homemade version of the popular restaurant treat.

Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, proof the yeast by combining with sugar and water. Let it stand about 5 minutes, until it's bubbly.
Add wet ingredients (honey, molasses, and butter) and mix to combine. Add salt, cocoa, and 1 cup of flour and mix. Continuing adding flour 1 cup at a time until it's all mixed in, then knead the dough (either with the mixer on medium or by hand) for 10 minutes, dusting with extra flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a dish towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until doubled in size. Prepare a large sheet pan by lining with parchment paper and set aside.
Once the dough has doubled, divide it into six equal pieces and form into small loaves. Place the six loaves onto the prepared pan, cover with a dish towel, and let rise for another hour, until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°. Bake loaves for 35 minutes, then let them cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Cool completely before storing. Can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week.
It has cocoa powder, molasses, and brown food coloring. Who knew! The bread also calls for honey, whole-wheat flour, salt, vegetable oil, yeast and water, and bread water.
According to the former employee on Reddit, you can actually buy the brown bread at Outback, albeit under certain conditions. As the employee states, all you need to do is go into an Outback and ask for a bag of its brown bread. Then, if the restaurant has enough to spare, it may sell it to you.
This bread is dairy and egg free, just like the Outback Steakhouse bread. It uses molasses, honey, whole wheat flour, and dark cocoa powder to get the signature color and flavor. The soft and fluffy texture is achieved by kneading the dough thoroughly with the dough hook on your stand mixer.
Molasses: I use dark, unsulphured molasses. I do not recommend blackstrap molasses for this recipe as it's not the best for baking. Flour: You will need whole wheat flour and bread flour for this recipe. Cocoa powder: This is the secret ingredient that gives the bread its signature color.
it's a honey wheat bread with an irresponsible amount of sugar in it. According to what I could find, one loaf is 370 calories and has 51g of carbs, 15g fat, and 10g of sugar.
Strong Bones and Tissues. A diet that includes rye bread helps build healthy bones and tissues throughout the body. This is thanks to a swath of nutrients, like the calcium and manganese it contains, as well as iron that builds red blood cells and B vitamins that promote cell growth and repair.
The brown bread at Outback Steakhouse may seem good because it's dark, but it's still not freshly milled like you get when you use the Wondermill. Just because it's brown it doesn't mean that it's healthy or whole grain. This bread so dark mostly because of similar ingredients that are found in my healthier version.
A persistent rumor on places like TikTok is that Outback cooks its steaks in beef tallow for a more pronounced flavor, but that's just not the case. "We cook our steaks with butter," says Cutler. Butter is frequently the fat of choice for steak chefs.
Another surprise is that China, with its population exceeding 1.4 billion people, comes in at around just 5.83 kilograms (almost 13 pounds) of bread per capita per year, and the second most populated country in the world, India, eats the least amount of bread, coming in a 1.75 kilos (or almost four pounds per person) ...
