Steps To Make Copycat Cheesecake Factory Honey Wheat Bread:

Step 1: Start by mixing all the dry ingredients in your KitchenAid stand mixer: both flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and yeast. Now, in a medium bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, molasses, and honey. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mix.

Step 2: Mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead by hand for 5-8 minutes—there’s something so satisfying about kneading dough by hand! If it’s too sticky, sprinkle some extra flour. Once the dough is smooth and elastic, place it in an oiled bowl, roll it around to coat all sides, and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 2 hours.

Step 3: After rising, divide the dough into 3 pieces and shape each into a 9-inch log. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with rolled oats, and lightly score the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 4: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the loaves for 30 minutes. Let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying!

Tip:

For an even more authentic experience. Let the dough rise overnight in the fridge. This slower fermentation process. Enhances the flavor. And the texture of the bread. Simply follow the recipe. Until the first rise. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. And let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next day. Bring the dough to room temperature. Before proceeding with shaping. And the second rise. This extra step is worth the wait. For an even richer, more complex flavor!
