This is one of the easier restaurant recipes to make. So easy, it’s something you could probably do several times a week, regardless of what you’re serving.
The real Outback Steakhouse Bushman Bread does NOT contain food coloring or instant coffee. If the recipe you’ve been using calls for these items, throw it away. You’ll also notice this recipe uses real molasses and rye flour. That’s what gives you that distinct rich flavor others are trying to recreate.
If you want to try this with your bread machine, simply add the ingredients in the order the manufacturer suggests. Put your bread machine on “dough” and when it’s complete, form into loafs by hand and let rise. This goes very well with the Outback Steakhouse Potato Soup and the Outback Steakhouse Chopped Blue Cheese Salad.
Ingredients
- 3 packages dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups rye flour
- 2 1/2 -3 cups bread flour
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
- Stir in the sugar and let stand 6 minutes or until it’s bubbly.
- In large mixing bowl combine the yeast/water combo above along with 1 cup warm water with molasses, salt, oil and rye flour.
- Mix this until it makes a nice smooth batter.
- Work in the bread flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. It should be very pliable and elastic.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes and then let it rise in a greased bowl until it’s doubled.
- Punch the dough down and shape into 2 large round loaves
- Placed the loaves a few inches apart on a greased and cornmeal dusted cookie sheet. Sprinkle a bit of the cornmeal over the top of the loaves as well.
- Let loaves rise in a warm place until doubled.
- Bake loaves at 375 for about 30 minutes or until the crust makes hollow sound when tapped.
- This bread is supposed to freeze very well.

Outback does not make this bread, they buy it. It can be purchased at the day old bread store in giant bags.
Thanks! Wow, I had no idea. I do know this recipe tastes a LOT like what they serve in Outback, whether it’s break they bought or bread they made. Maybe I should describe this as “bread that tastes just like the bread made by the bakery that supplied Outback Steakhouse.” That would be a little confusing. Rest assured, this taste just like the stuff offered at Outback Steakhouse
I really wanted to make this bread, but have only bread machine yeast on hand. When I went to Fleichmann’s website to find the equivalent of 1 package, it said it was 2 1/4 tsp. If I multiple this times 3 pkgs the recipe calls for that comes to 6 3/4 tsps! This sounds like far too much yeast. Could you please advise. Many thanks!
tastes great – 3 packages of yeast sure do rise – WOW – my only question is how come theirs is real dark and shiny, and mine was tan and dull – but still tasted good – altho’ looks are important! thanks
Yep, that’s a lot of yeast, but believe it or not, it’s correct. As you can see from others, they’ve had good success with it. Let me know if you get different results.
Did you make sure to use DARK molasses and DARK Rye flour? If you do that, you should end up with the nice dark coloring. Let me know and we’ll make sure you get as close as possible to the real deal.
At what point do you add the yeast water?
Thank you SO much. I didn’t even notice I missed that when writing this up. I’ve put it in now. You add it with the other water. Thanks again!
Where can you buy rye flour?
RE: skinnycook’s hysterical claim…
Outback don’t make the bread fresh, that is true, however, they receive the prepared dough frozen from their supplier and bake it in house (so they can say they have “fresh baked” bread). I don’t know how on earth you came to the assumption that the day old bread stores would have the kind of stock needed in order to supply a chain restaurant with enough bread to allow every customer to have as much as they’d like. *facepalm*
Does anyone know the recipe for their spinach and artichoke dip?? Email it to me, if you do – iaretehsarah@gmail
Oh wow! That looks absolutely delicious, I love how you took an old favorite and added your own twist. You also did an amazing job with the pictures, I will definitely try this recipe over the weekend.
Awesome receipt…..I love this bread..THANKS!!! I didn’t see a place to rate by stars, but I would give this 5 stars.
How long should it take to double? This is my first bread baking experience.
Trying to make this for the first time.. I am using my bread machine to mix the dough. I am just hoping I put the ingredients in right, and if it matters exactly what order.. I dont bake all the time so I dont know this stuff, just thought I would try it. guess I will see how it turns out! Lol wish me luck!
The last I knew, the Outbacks at least in Michigan got their bread from The Bun Basket in Wyoming, MI. Great bread!
Is it really a Tablespoon of salt? That sounds like a lot.
This is great I want to try immediately and make for Turkey Day.
Ok you say 3 packets of Yeast but I have a Jar, whats the measurement on that? table spoon?
Thanks.
