I believe they are pumpernickel cro没tons.Anyone knows what is that brown sweet kind of crouton served on Outback Steakhouse blue cheese chopped salad?
Its a sweet brown bread:
In searching for a copycat recipe for Outback's bread, I found this one online. I'm posting it here as the recipe was written so I won't lose it. I did change the size of my loaves by making two large loaves instead of 6 smaller ones. This recipe is a bit different from others here on Zaar in that it requires molasses as well as honey. It produces a nice dark loaf that we thought was very close to Outback's bread. I mixed up some honey butter to serve with it. Super yummy! NOTE: this is not supposed to be a "fluffy" bread! This recipe produces a dark dense loaf.
6 small loaves
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
2 cups bread flour
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/4 teaspoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon yellow food coloring
1 teaspoon blue food coloring
cornmeal, for dusting
1/4 cup butter, softened
1-2 teaspoon honey, to taste
Directions
1In a small bowl, combine the sugar and warm water; add the yeast and let this mixture sit until it is foamy.
2While the yeast proofs, combine the bread and wheat flours, cocoa and salt in a large bowl.
3Mix the 2 T butter into the dry mixture with your hands.
4Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients; pour the honey and molasses into the well.
5Mix the food coloring into the yeast solution and then pour into the well.
6Stir with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
7Put the dough on a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.
8Roll the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl.
9Cover and put in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours or until it has risen to double it's size.
10When the dough has doubled, divide it into 6 portions.
11Roll each portion about 6" long and 2" wide.
12Put some cornmeal on your rolling surface and moisten your hands with water.
13Rub the dough with your moistened hands and then roll the dough in the cornmeal.
14Put the rolled dough on a baking sheet and cover to rise again.
15Set the dough in a warm place again for about 1 hour or until the loaves are doubled in size.
16Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
17When done, let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
18Combine the 1/4 c butter and honey (to taste) in a small bowl.
19Whip with a mixer until thoroughly combined.
20Serve on the warm bread.
