Honey Wheat Bread Like Outback

You know that bread they serve at Outback Steakhouse? Well, topsecretrecipes.com has got the recipe pretty close. If you want the exact color, you will have to use food coloring, but the taste is very good. Serve warm with whipped butter.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 25 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
• 2  tablespoons butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup honey
• 2  cups bread flour
• 1 2⁄3 cups wheat flour
• 1  tablespoon  cocoa
• 1  tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2  teaspoons instant coffee
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2 1⁄4 teaspoons  yeast (1 pkg.)
•  cornmeal, for the top

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a bread machine in the order listed above and use the dough setting.
2. When it is done, let it rise for about an hour.
3. When the dough is twice its original size, punch it down and split it into rolls.
4. If you want authentic Outback size, make about 8 tubular loaves.
5. I prefer to make 12 rolls.
6. The dough is sticky, so make sure you use a well-floured cookie sheet and plenty of flour on your hands.
7. Sprinkle the entire surface of the loaves with cornmeal and then let them rise again.
8. Bake for 20-24 minutes at 350.
