Bring the steakhouse experience to your house
You may think that because I like to cook a lot that I don’t like to go out to eat. False. I love all things food and I love going out to eat! It’s so fun to look at a menu and pick something new or go with an old favorite. My husband is a big fan of meat in general so he loves to choose steakhouses for a Friday or Saturday night out-to-eat dinner. And although I’m not a vegetarian I prefer all the side dishes and other choices besides meat at the steakhouse. For example, I love the warm bread they bring to you with real butter. And don’t forget the soup of the day! I love soup and there’s just nothing better on a cold day than some creamy potato soup.
So you may be thinking, “I love the steakhouse experience but I don’t love the steakhouse price.” Or you may have trouble finding a babysitter or it might just be -2 degrees outside and you don’t want to brave the weather. Whatever reason it is, you can can create the bread and soup of a steakhouse easily in your own home.

Whole Wheat Steakhouse Bread Recipe
So now that you have your potato soup covered you can also make the delicious bread at home. This particular loaf of bread reminds me of the type they serve at Outback Steakhouse. It is actually pretty healthy. It’s whole grain. This recipe makes two loaves. One for you and one for a friend.

I really loved this. I use half the yeast because mine is instant, and I add most of the flour at the beginning because I don’t need to activate the yeast. Turned out excellent. It had ingredients I would keep around and I loved how it came out even with 100% whole wheat vs a mix with AP flour. Thanks for sharing this! will make it again today!
