Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread is a soft, slightly sweet, and hearty bread known for its rich brown color and nutty flavor. This homemade version replicates the restaurant favorite with simple ingredients and a perfect balance of sweetness and chewiness.

Origin Copycat Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread

This famous brown bread has become an iconic offering at The Cheesecake Factory, served warm with butter before every meal. Inspired by classic honey wheat loaves, it gets its signature deep brown color from a mix of whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and molasses.

What I Love About This Recipe

The slightly sweet, nutty flavor makes it a perfect complement to soups, sandwiches, or just with a spread of butter. The soft texture and rich brown color are incredibly appealing, and baking this at home fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma. Plus, it’s healthier than regular white bread, with the added goodness of whole wheat flour and molasses.

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)

  • ¼ cup cocoa powder

  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal (for dusting)

  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats (optional, for topping)

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and shape it into small baguettes or rolls. Sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the shaped dough on top.
  • Cover and let the loaves rise again for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with rolled oats for an authentic look.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

Cottage Cheese Bread is a soft, slightly tangy, and protein-rich homemade bread that pairs beautifully with soups, sandwiches, or simply with butter. The addition of cottage cheese keeps it moist and gives it a unique texture and flavor.

Origin Cottage Cheese Bread

Cottage cheese bread has roots in traditional European and American home baking, where dairy products were commonly incorporated into bread recipes for added nutrition and moisture. This type of bread is especially popular in Eastern European cuisine, where dairy-rich breads are a staple.

What I Love About This Recipe

This bread is incredibly soft and has a slight tanginess from the cottage cheese that makes it stand out from regular bread. The texture is fluffy yet hearty, making it a great choice for breakfast toast or sandwiches. Plus, it’s packed with protein and calcium, making it a nutritious alternative to traditional white bread. It also stays fresh longer due to the moisture from the cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

  • ¼ cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (room temperature)

  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 ½ to 3 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour

  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted, for brushing)

Directions

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, honey (or sugar), salt, egg, and baking soda. Mix well.
  • Add the activated yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour, ½ cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Brush the top with melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use small-curd cottage cheese for a smoother texture in the bread.
  • If you prefer a more rustic loaf, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
