I have always loved bread, I know some people are afraid of using yeast. Trust me I was the same way when I first started making bread but that is the beauty of proofing your yeast!

HOW TO MAKE A COPYCAT CHEESECAKE FACTORY BROWN BREAD RECIPE, STEP BY STEP:

1. In the body of a stand mixer with the hook attachment, add the warm water, yeast, and sugar, stir a few times to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
2. While waiting, in a medium-sized bowl stir together the flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, and salt, set aside.
3. Once the yeast is bubbly, add the honey, molasses, and melted butter, stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir it in, scrape down the sides as needed.
4. Add 2 ½ cups of the bread flour and stir it in until combined. At low speed continue to add bread flour a little at a time until the dough comes off the sides of the mixer, if it is still sticky some to the very bottom of the mixer that’s okay. (How much bread flour you use depends on how humid it is out that day.) Turn the speed up to medium-high and knead the dough for 6-7 minutes. If you see the dough start to stick to the sides again, add a tablespoon of the bread flour at a time until it is clean again.
5. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Add the dough and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it double in size, about 45-90 minutes.
6. Punch down the dough in the bowl. On a lightly floured clean work surface divide the dough into 4ths.
7. Using your hands, roll them out into long logs. Place them into the sections of a baguette pan. Spray the tops of the loaves with more cooking spray and sprinkle with the cornmeal or rolled oats. Slightly press it in so it sticks. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel again and let proof for 30 minutes, they should almost double in size again.
8. While proofing, preheat the oven to 375°F. Score your bread 4-5 times then place the baguette pan directly into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake until the outside of the bread is no longer shiny and is crusty looking. You can temp the bread, if it has reached an internal temperature of 200-210°F it’s done. Let cool slightly, cut and serve!

DO YOU TASTE THE COCOA AND COFFEE POWDER?

No you do not. These are added to bring out the flavor of the bread itself. It is actually used in baking a lot the mixture of chocolate and coffee to enhance the flavor of recipes.

This Brown Bread Recipe has a wonderful depth of flavor that is brought out from them and you can taste more of the molasses, honey and wheat in this bread.

DO I HAVE TO USE A BAGUETTE PAN?

While these are really handy to have around, you do not need one to make this recipe. You can let them proof on two sheet trays lined with parchment paper, not touching.

They won’t have the same shape, but remember what I said – it doesn’t have to be pretty it just has to taste good. If you do want a to use a pan we have this baguette pan.

WHAT DO I TOP THIS BREAD WITH?

Traditionally the Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread is topped with rolled oats. That is what we have always topped ours with but you can also top with cornmeal as well.

The oats are more or less there for presentation and a little texture contrast, so if you do not have them around you can omit them.

HOW TO STORE:

This recipe can be stored at room temperature in a bread keeper, airtight container or ziptop bag and it will last for up to 3-5 days.

This can also be frozen! To do this bake and cool your bread as instructed, I like to wrap each of my loaves in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag where it will keep for up to 3 months.

To defrost, remove to refrigerator overnight. Then place on countertop to bring to room temperature, you can reheat slices or loaves in microwave for around 30-40 seconds.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• This makes 4 loaves, you can cut this recipe in half if you’d like or even double it.
• This can be frozen, see my tips above.
• Top this bread with rolled oats or cornmeal.
• Do not forget to score your bread before baking.
• We use a baguette pan for this, you do not need this you can shape and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
