    THE BEST LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE BREAD

    If you've ever been to Longhorn Steakhouse, then odds are you've had their delicious bread. I mean, who can refuse a free basket of bread? Am I right?!

    Well, since my wife and I recently went to Longhorn Steakhouse and devoured the bread they served with our meal I knew I wanted to recreate it at home. And, well, this recipe is that recreation - shout out to Simply Side Dishes for coming up with it! 

    This honey whole wheat bread is soft inside with the perfect crust and unmatched flavor.

    And this bread recipe might be the easiest homemade bread out there. Just 5 simple steps are all you need to follow to make it.

    Also, since it's so easy to make, it's a no-brainer to serve with literally any main dish that you're making.

    My favorite meals to make it with are this spicy chicken chipotle pasta, this chicken and shrimp carbonara, this four cheese pasta, and this Longhorn bourbon salmon.

    And it makes a great sandwich bun for this grinder sandwich or Panera Bread turkey sandwich.

    You could even use it to make this southern stuffing!

    But, honestly, it's delicious on its own with a slab of butter, or even served with breakfast!

    Anyway, now that you know just how versatile this bread is, let's get to the ingredients.

    Ingredients 

    As I mentioned just a second ago, the ingredients you need to make this honey whole wheat bread are pretty common kitchen staples - or at the very least easy to find.

    Anyway, here's what you need to make this Longhorn bread:

    • 1 ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp. sugar
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • 2.5 tsp. dry yeast
    • 1 tbsp. butter
    • ¾ cup buttermilk, warm
    • ⅓ cup honey
    • ¼ cup mixed grains

    Now, there are a few special ingredients in this recipe, but their imperative to get the same deliciousness that the bread Longhorn has. So, with that said, I highly suggest you grab whatever you don't have at home from the grocery store. 

    However, if you're looking for a simpler bread recipe, this Little Ceasars cheese bread or Instant Pot bread would be good ones to try.

    How To Make Longhorn Steakhouse Bread

    Ok, so this copycat Longhorn Steakhouse bread recipe makes 2 loaves of bread. And that means you should have enough bread for a few dinners during the week!

    But, if you only want one loaf, you can cut this recipe in half - it's totally up to you! 

    Now, let's not waste any more time, and get right into the recipe.

    Step 1: Making the Bread Dough

    Ok, so to a large mixing bowl you'll want to add ¾ cup of the wheat flour, ¾ cup of the all-purpose flour, all of the sugar, the salt, and the yeast

    Then, give all of the dry ingredients a good mix using an electric whisker until they're all combined.

    Next, add the butter and honey to the bowl, and mix until they thoroughly combine with the dry ingredients.

    Then, gradually add the buttermilk to the bowl, and beat them with the electric mixer for about 2 minutes until a dough starts to form. 

    After that, add the remaining whole wheat and all-purpose flour into the bowl, and mix until the dough is no longer sticky.

    Step 2: Kneading The Dough

    Ok, so now that you have a bread dough, put it on a lightly floured surface and knead in the mixed grains. Then, you'll want to knead it for about 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth.

    Oh, and just so you know, you can either knead the bread with your hands, or if you have a stand mixer you can use the dough hook.

    Step 3: Letting the dough rise

    Now that the dough is kneaded, set it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for about about 60-90 minutes - or until it doubles in size. Just keep in mind the amount of time it takes to rise will depend on how warm the room is.

    Also, if the dough has doubled its size before reaching 60 minutes, then you can move on to the next step -  sometimes dry yeast activates faster than others and it's hard to pinpoint a time.

    Step 4: Dividing The Dough

    Once the dough rises, divide the dough in half, and roll each half of the dough into a 7-inch by 5-inch rectangle.

    Then, set the two halves of dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise again until they double in size.

    Step 5: Baking The Bread

    Now, once the two loaves are almost done rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Then, make 3-4 slits on top of each loaf of bread and put the baking tray in the oven. Bake the bread for about 25-35 minutes - or until golden brown.

    Finally, let the bread cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve with some butter.

    Enjoy!

    How to Store Bread

    So, as you know, this wheat bread recipe will make two loaves. And you'll want to store it just like any bread.

    I've found that the best way to store it, is in a plastic bag tightly closed with the air taken out of it. You can also use a bread box or shallow airtight container 

    Properly stored, this homemade bread can last 3-4 days. But if you don't think you'll eat it within that time frame, you'll want to freeze the bread and it will last frozen for up to 3 months.

    How To Reheat Bread

    My favorite way to reheat bread is by putting it in the toaster oven. You can either put in on the warm function if you just want to heat it up or actually toast the bread if you want a slice of toast.

    I think the best way to eat the wheat bread is with some peanut butter, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey on top.

    FAQs Section 

    Does Longhorn have bread?

    Yes! Longhorn has a wheat bread that is identical to the one that this recipe creates. I honestly think that Longhorn has the best bread out of any chain restaurant, along with The Cheesecake Factory. At The Cheesecake Factory, they actually serve a honey wheat bread that is very similar to the one at Longhorn.

    How many calories are in a loaf of bread from Longhorn Steakhouse?
