Copy Cat Cheesecake Factory Bread

This bread is so delish.  It tastes like the bread from Cheesecake Factory.  It is warm coming out of the oven and then smear butter all over each slice.  Yum!

I used the wheat flour that we grind ourselves. I buy active yeast in a jar because I make bread a lot.  If you just want to try this recipe and not make more bread then I would suggest the packets of dry yeast.


Ingredients 

2 cups all purpose flour plus more

1 1/2 cups of wheat flour

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

2 Tbsp granulated sugar

2 1/4 tsp active yeast

1 1/4 cups of warm water ( you can heat it in the microwave)

2 Tbsp butter

1/4 cup molasses 

1/2 cup honey


Rolled oats for topping


Combine all dry ingredients to the water.  Mix with stand mixer.  Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. 



Add butter, molasses. honey to the warm water and mix. Pour into well in the dry ingredients and mix well. 

Continue to mix until dough pulls away from side of bowl, if dough is still wet add more all purpose flour until the dough pulls away from side, it might be another cup.  You can either let the mixer knead the dough or at this point remove from bowl onto a floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes.  Transfer to a well oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Place in a warm area for two hours to rise. It should double in size. Gently remove from bowl roll out a little with hands and use pastry cutter to divide into 3-4 oblong loaves.  Score the top of each loaf Sprinkle with rolled oats. Cover with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.


Heat oven to 350 Degrees. Bake loaves for 30 minutes.  When done cool on a wire rack.. Serve warm

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
