If you don’t have molasses on hand, you can find it at any grocery store close to the sugar and corn syrup.

First, you’ll make the dough. If you have a stand mixer with a dough hook (like a Kitchen Aid), that would be perfect. Otherwise, you can do it the old-fashioned way and mix it by hand 🙂

Then you’ll cover it and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size. This depends on the warmth of your kitchen, but it could take from 1-2 hours for this first rise.

Sweet Molasses Brown Bread

Here’s a quick tip: If you’re short on time and REALLY need this dough (or almost any type of bread dough) to rise faster, here’s what you do:

Place a clean kitchen towel over the bowl (make sure you use a glass or metal bowl) and put it in the oven. Do not cover the bowl with plastic wrap. It will melt.

Now just leave your covered dough in the oven for about half an hour. The warm oven will help it rise much faster!

You can easily use your bread machine to whip together the dough for this sweet brown bread. Then once the dough is made, take it out and form it into loaves as explained in the next section.

To use your bread maker, add the ingredients in the following order. You’ll add all the wet ingredients first, then the dry ingredients, ending with the yeast on top.

Punch the dough down and put it on a floured surface, like a cutting board. Press it lightly into a disk shape, and then cut into four equal pieces. You’ll form each piece into a brown bread baguette.

Repeat this process one or two more times. Each time you do it, the loaf will get longer. When your loaf is 6 inches long, that’s the perfect length.

Set the small loaves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you don’t have any parchment paper, then lightly grease the baking sheet. I set mine on at an angle so I could fit all four loaves on one pan.

Now it’s time to score each loaf so that they don’t crack while baking. Just take a sharp knife and make about four diagonal slashes on each loaf.

Now, for the optional decorations! The oatmeal! Lightly brush each loaf with water, then sprinkle some rolled oats on top. (If you don’t use water, the oatmeal won’t stick).

Now lightly place some plastic wrap over the top and allow the loaves to rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (Room temperature is usually fine, unless your house temperature is below 70 degrees F.)

Cool on a wire rack for at least ten minutes before slicing. I know it’s hard to wait, but you don’t want to squish the bread 🙂

The Cheesecake Factory Bread

This famous brown bread is a fantastic substitute for dinner rolls, makes delicious sandwich bread, and pairs well with my Easy Pork Roast and Creamy Lemon Chicken. It’s the perfect recipe to get that Cheesecake Factory signature taste and break away from standard white bread.

Store at room temperature in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag for up to two days. After that, place it in the refrigerator to slow aging and the formation of mold (if the bread lasts that long!)

If you don’t plan on eating all four loaves right away, allow the loaves to cool completely. Then place them in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag and freeze for up to six months.

To thaw, remove from the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature inside their sealed container for several hours. If condensation has formed, turn the bread over several times while thawing for even redistribution of the moisture.

Recipe: Knock Off Cheesecake Factory Bread

The classic Cheesecake Factory bread is essentially a malted loaf, soft like dinner rolls and lightly sweet. It contains malted barley flour, whole wheat and plain flour, plus sugar, oil, and emulsifiers. The combination of molasses, caramel colouring, brown sugar, and malted barley extract gives this bread its distinctive dark brown colour.

We designed this recipe to include as few ingredients as possible, healthy and easy for your to find. As malted barley extract is not very common at the supermarket, we swapped it with cocoa powder which is also cheaper. Just a few spoons are enough to give the bread dough a lovely browned look. Also, we used maple syrup instead of sugar and molasses to add a hint of sweetness to the bread without loading it with refined sugars.

We love this brown bread sliced, topped with nut butter and our sugar-free plum jam for breakfast. Ready for some kneading? Let's go!

To shape the bread, flatten one piece of dough into a rectangle and then fold the long sides towards the centre so that they overlap (1).

Then, pull one of the long sides over the centre and flatten it down with the heel of your hand. Do the same for other side, folding it over the first one and pressing down once again. The dough should now resemble a narrow log (2). If this process is not clear, check out the videos in the recipe story.

Next, flip the baguette with the seam-side down and roll it a few times back and forth to give it a nice round shape.

Leave enough space for the bread to prove and cook; if your tray is not big enough, you might need to use multiple trays.

The bread is ready if it sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom; let it cool down completely on a wire rack before serving.If you have ever been to the Cheesecake Factory to eat and have scarfed down basket after basket of their delicious honey wheat bread, then you will be excited to hear about my newest recipe — Copycat Cheesecake Factory Honey Wheat Bread.
