Copycat Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread

If you’ve been to South Florida, you’ve probably visited The Cheesecake Factory. Aside from their delicious food and cakes, they offer a delicious brown bread that is flavorful, and soft with a hint of sweetness.

Since my favorite food in the whole wide world is bread, I was so excited to make this Copycat Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread. Slap some butter on top and you’ll be in heaven. It also makes a delicious addition to sandwiches and paninis.

Making them is so easy. I used the same quick rise microwave method as I did with my ultimate dinner rolls. It cuts the proofing time by a third.

For the shape, I choose to make medium batons but you can certainly shape them in a big circle or in small rolls. Depends on the occasion. This recipe yields for 5 medium pieces. Perfect for a big dinner party or you can certainly freeze the unused bread.

This Copycat Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread has so much flavor since it’s made with honey, molasses, and whole wheat flour. The butter is added right at the end of mixing to create the beautiful softness that you’ll feel at the first bite.

When baking this bread, use instant yeast. It’ll save you time by skipping the “activating” step. Just toss everything in the mixer and add the liquid slowly. If you have a standing mixer with a hook, you won’t even have to knead by hand.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups Bread Flour
  • 1 2/3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Cocoa
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 Teaspoons Instant Coffee granules
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt

  • 1 1/4 Cup Warm Water*
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature

For topping:

  • 1 Egg lightly mixed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • On the bowl of a standing mixer, add the flours, yeast,  cocoa, sugar, coffee, and salt. Mix with a hook until combined

  • With the mixer still running, pour in the honey and molasses slowly

  • Add the softened butter and keep mixing until the dough separates from the bowl and the bowl becomes clean. About 5 minutes
  • Spray another bowl with nonstick spray and add the dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel
  • Heat a cup of water in the microwave until it starts boiling
  • Open the microwave door, move the cup of water to the back and place the bowl with the dough in the middle
  • Close the microwave door and let the dough proof for 30 minutes (dough should double its size). DO NOT TURN ON THE MICROWAVE

    Hi, I’m not a baker at all, but I would really like to try making this bread. I don’t see in the instructions when you should add the instant yeast?
    Thanks!

    I ended up adding almost an extra half cup of flower because it was SUPER sticky after i followed your instructions. The molasses really change the consistency. Turned out great. Wife loved it and told me it was better than in the actual restaurant.

      Thanks for your feedback Zach! glad you and your wife liked it. Sometimes brands of flour absorb liquid differently

    Yum! My whole family loved this bread. We were fighting over it, haha. I used blackstrap molasses and that helped make my bread nice and dark. Thank you!

    Any tips on how to make this (when to mix in ingredients, etc) if you are doing it by hand? I don’t have a stand mixer

      Start in a bowl and finish by hand

    Question…. do I need the coffee granules? Seems like such a small amount, they could be left out? I’m not a coffee fan and so never have coffee granules, nor do I like the taste. Do you know for certain the cheesecake factory bread uses these?

      You can leave out. They impart subtle flavor and color

      I cannot stand coffee, Kevin, and we still put it in, and it was delicious. It just enhances all the flavors, but you cannot taste the coffee flavor. This is coming from someone who really does not like coffee! Hope that helps!

    The first time we made it, it didn’t rise. The only thing that I think could have affected the yeast was that my daughter put the butter in the microwave for a few seconds because it wasn’t quite room temperature.. could that have negatively affected the yeast? I will say that even though it didn’t rise, the bread still tasted delicious (was a bit dense because of not rising), and was a big hit with my husband!

      Hi Jill, if the butter was too hot it may have killed off the yeast. Also, check the expiration date of your yeast packet

    Nutritional print out…is this for the whole recipe? It doesn’t specify “serving” size.

      Depends on how big you make the bread
