OUTBACK COPYCAT HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a bread machine in the order listed above and use the dough setting. Start with 1 2/3 cup flour. If it seems too sticky add remaining flour a bit at a time until the dough is not sticking to the sides of the bowl. Dough can also be made using a mixer. Just knead dough with dough hook for about 8-10 minutes on low setting. Kneading by hand: about 10-12 minutes.
- Let it rise for about an hour or until about doubled in size. In the bread maker (most dough settings already allow for this.) Or in a lightly greased bowl covered.
- Prepare 2 loaf pans. Grease bottom and sides well or line with parchment. I used 2 8-1/2 by 4-1/2 by 2-3/4-Inch pans. See link below for the pans I use for most of my bread.
- Divide dough into 2 pieces. And shape into loaves. (If you want authentic Outback size, make about 8 tube shaped loaves.) The dough is sticky, so make sure you use a well-floured cookie sheet and plenty of flour on your hands. Place into prepared pans.
- Sprinkle the entire surface of the loaves with oats and then let them rise again until doubled. My dough did not rise above the surface of the pan. Only let rise until doubled.
- Meanwhile preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes or until baked through. (I use athermometer to test for doneness. Insert into center of bread. It should register 200 degrees.)

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
- Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
- Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until tops are dark golden brown. Butter crusts while warm. Slice when cool.

HONEY WHEAT BLACK BREAD (LIKE OUTBACK'S BREAD)
This is a recipe I found at King Arthur Flour site. Here is what they state about the recipe: This loaf, often known as Canadian Brown Bread, is dark and quite sweet, but pleasingly so; we love it with just a plain pat of butter. Time doesn't include 1 hour or more rising time. Update 2/22/12 - I have now made this recipe and adjusted it according to what I did differently. This is now, an adapted version of King Arthur's recipe, as several of the reviews on their site had problems with the amount of liquid/flour ratio and I changed the type of cocoa and cut the amount of instant coffee.

Steps:
- Manual/Mixer Method: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, or the bowl of your electric mixer, combine all of the ingredients. Stir the mixture together, using your hands, a spoon, or your mixer, till the dough forms a shaggy mass that begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough, by hand or mixer, for about 10 minutes, till it's become smooth. Transfer it to a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk, at least 1 hour.
- Bread Machine Method: Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine. Program the machine for manual or dough, and press Start. Examine the dough about midway through the kneading cycle; it should be soft and smooth, but not overly sticky. Adjust the consistency with additional water or bread flour, as needed. Allow the machine to complete its cycle.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a small log-shaped loaf. This dough is soft, so use flour or a non-stick spray on your hands. Sprinkle a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet with cornmeal, place the loaves on the sheet, and cover. Let the loaves rise for 1 hour, or until they look "puffy" but aren't doubled in size.
- Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The loaves will appear slightly darker on the top when they're done. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a wire rack. Yield: 8 mini-loaves.
- This bread stays moist and delicious for at least four days. If you want a less sweet bread, just cut the honey to 1/4 cup and leave out the 1 tablespoon sugar. The bread won't stay moist as long, but has very good flavor. We also tried this bread with molasses in place of the honey, and it was very good.
