That was the old recipe. It really wasn’t as good as this new improved one. A lot of people didn’t like. I’m going to put it back up so people who did like it can use it. I’d encourage you to try this one out.

The receipe I see has no molasses or rye flower listed. Is there another recipe?

I have made the bread several times. Turns out perfect everytime, just like at the Outback steakhouse.

I made this recipe exactly, and it didn’t come out dark – I used the dark rye flour, but couldn’t find “dark” molasses, just “robust”, which is what I used. The crust came out too hard and crunchy to be Outback bread, but the taste was good.

This bread is nice and soft, but it’s very obviously not the recipe that Outback’s bread actually uses, it doesn’t taste much like it at all.

Made this bread tonight…. Everyone Loved it I made it in the bread machine using 2 packets of active dry yeast and they came out perfect. I put a little egg wash on right before baking to make them nice and shiny.

Thanks for the recipe

I tried this recipe last weekend and while it turned out good it was sort of tan and a strong rye flavor. I used grandma molasses but the end product didn’t have the color or flavor of Outback

“Otherwise, the recipe is OK, but you can definitely taste the difference. I’ve made one similar to this before, but it is made with cocoa powder and instant coffee, whole wheat, not rye and sorry Chef, but it tastes exactly like the Bushmen’s bread at Outback. This bread is fine but only if you like the taste of rye and molasses.. which isnt authentic tasting to me, but to each his own.”
Sorry, but I must agree. While this is a tasty bread, it is NOT what comes to our table while at Outback Steakhouse. This is a much denser bread, lacks the color and -more importantly- the flavor of “Bushman Bread”

A couple points:
-Not all yeast is the same. Breadmachine yeast is “instant”. Use less yeast if you’re using instant. 2 packages is not a lof of regular yeast.
-If you want it this dark you most likely need a carmel color in there.
-If you want it glossy, put an egg wash on top.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. If you want more tips check out King Arthur Flour’s website.
