Copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Honey Oat Bread – I first posted this recipe back in 2011, and it spread like wildfire thru the internet dubbed as ‘copycat longhorns bread’. It deserved a replay!
Longhorn Bread
It’s no secret that I love to bake bread… and of course, eat it.
I first posted the recipe for my Honey Oat Bread back in 2011. It quickly spread around the internet, dubbed as ‘copycat Longhorn Steakhouse bread’.
I didn’t even realize it tasted like it… especially being that I rarely ever go there.
Since everyone kept saying how much it tasted like the bread served at Longhorn’s, I had to see for myself.
So a while back, I dined at Longhorns solely because I wanted to try their bread and compare it to mine. I did order food, don’t worry. I didn’t go in there just for the free bread and say ‘See Ya!’ after I indulged haha.
The verdict?
My Honey Oat Bread DOES taste like the bread served at Longhorns – just a little bit better if I do say so myself. (Toot toot! You hear that? That’s my own horn I just tooted).
Making Longhorn Bread
Since my honey oat bread does in fact taste like the Longhorn bread, I added the ‘copycat Longhorn bread’ title to my recipe.
I make this all the time. Like once a week. It’s our go-to bread (I mean, other than biscuits… nothing can replace biscuits though. Whole different level!)
Making Longhorn Bread Using Buttermilk
Sometimes I switch it up a little by adding some buttermilk.
It’s kinda crazy how buttermilk affects the taste and texture. It rises to twice the size, and the flavor has a little more tang to it.
You can tell in the picture below what that one substitution does in the appearance. I make it with water 70% of the time – water is obviously cheaper than buttermilk!
But when I have extra buttermilk that needs to be used up or want a tangier and fluffier bread, I go with the buttermilk.
How to Enjoy My Copycat Longhorn Bread
My favorite way to eat it? Straight outta the oven with a little butter, baby! YUM. It’s also really good dredged in some good quality olive oil.
I make mine in my bread machine – if you don’t have one – check out my guide to converting bread machine recipes to by hand.
Honey Oat Bread (copycat Longhorns)
Ingredients
- 1 warm cup water or switch out for warm buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup rolled oats heaping
- 2⅓ cups bread flour or wheat flour
- 1 heaping teaspoon active dry yeast
Instructions
- Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select Light Crust or Basic setting, and press Start.
Can the dough cycle be used ??
Yes, it can. Then you can bake it in the oven at about 350 til done, about 30 minutes.
Don’t sweat the Buttermilk. Easy to make your own! One cup of regular milk and add 1 tsp. distilled white vinegar. Let sit for about 10 min. and it will thicken a little. Also, in the baking aisle at the grocery store, you can get a powdered product called “Cultured Buttermilk Blend”. Comes in a can and you add (however much buttermilk the recipe calls for, there is a chart on the can) the amount for the amount of butter milk you need to your DRY ingredients. It is a powder, so it can be sifted into all dry ingredients. Then add your milk that is the amount of buttermilk you would use. It’s that simple. Make sure you refrigerate it after you open the can or it will clump into a huge hard lump (ask me how I know this…ha ha). I very rarely have buttermilk on hand and my nearest store is 20 miles away, so, these are my go to substitutes. and they are a lot cheaper than buying buttermilk for a recipe you don’t use very often.
Hope this helps some of you that don’t want to purchase a qt. of buttermilk to get one cup. 🙂
I just made this, with homemade buttermilk. It came out perfectly! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
