I looked around at many copycat recipes for this bread. Most used a bread machine dough cycle, but didn’t completely make the bread in a bread machine. I modified the recipe to bake in a breadmaker and also modified and added a few ingredients to my liking. I was surprised how high this bread rose. It almost touched the bottom of the bread machine window. This recipe tastes really good and like the Outback original, especially fresh out of the machine with honey butter. Who can wait for it to cool? I usually can’t.
