If you’re not familiar with Texas Toast, it’s a type of bread that is thick and usually has a bit of garlic flavor to it. It’s the perfect accompaniment to any meal, but it’s especially good when paired with chicken or steak.

So, why not give this recipe a try? You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

Raising Cane’s Texas Toast is cooked to order from sesame-seeded pull apart bread. It’s brushed with butter and garlic and then grilled to create its signature look and taste. The finished product is definitely delicious. It’s the perfect side to Cane’s Chicken Tenders and Dipping Sauce.

This copycat recipe is not difficult. People often are afraid to make bread recipes at home, but it really isn’t difficult to do. The only thing that makes it tricky is that it takes a little extra time. Waiting for bread to rise can make some people feel frustrated, but if you have patience, you should be absolutely fine.

The other thing that makes this particular recipe a little bit “extra” is that we’re basically cooking it twice. First we’re baking the fresh loaf of bread, and then we are grilling up the toast. It’s a bit of work, I’m not going to lie. But the results speak for themselves.

Trust me.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp (1 pack) instant dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm whole milk
• 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour, scooped and leveled
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened and cubed
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 egg + 1 tsp water (egg wash)
• Sesame seeds, optional
• Butter
• Garlic salt

Instructions

To begin, heat your milk for 30 seconds in the microwave, then add it to the bowl of your mixer along with 1 cup of all purpose flour and the yeast. (Note: I used Fleischmann’s instant yeast plus rapid rise.)

Mix until combined.

Cover the bowl with a towel, and let it sit for 30 minutes so the yeast can bloom.

After half an hour, add in the eggs, butter, flour, sugar and salt.

Knead on medium speed with a dough hook for 20 minutes or so. Remove the dough from the mixer and add it to an oiled bowl. Cover it with a towel, and let it sit in a warm area, letting it rise for an hour.

Remove the dough from the bowl. It will be sticky, so use flour on your hands.

Cut the dough in half. Place the first half on a lightly dusted surface and press it out with your hands.

Cut the dough into six pieces. You’ll need extra flour here. Flatten each piece out, then fold one side to center and the other side on top.

Flatten each of these pieces out with your finger, then turn the dough and roll it tightly. Place it into a baking dish sprayed with baking spray.

Repeat this for each slice.

Let these sit for another 30 minutes, then brush with egg wash and add a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until golden brown and lovely.

By itself, this makes an amazing pull-apart bread that anyone would LOVE. Eat it warm out of the oven with butter or cheese, and you have yourself a fantastic snack. But that’s not what we’re here for. We’re taking this ALL THE WAY.

It’s time to grill up the bread to make our copycat Raising Cane’s Texas Toast!

Of course you’re going to want to pull apart your loaf of bread so that you have your nice thick slices to work with.

First, add a generous slathering of butter to each side of your bread.

You’ll also want to grab your very favorite brand of garlic salt and sprinkle it onto each side. Be careful not to add too much, as you don’t want to make it too salty.

Another option (and this is actually my preferred method) is to mix your softened butter with the garlic salt in advance and THEN spread it on your bread. It gives you a bit more control. The ratio I use is 1 cup of butter to 1 tablespoon of garlic salt. You can adjust it for the quantity you need.

Once your toast is ready to fry, grab your griddle or a frying pan and add even more butter to it. Turn it on to a medium high heat and let the butter melt. Add your bread to the pan and let it toast up to a golden brown. Flip to toast the other side, as well.

That’s it! Serve these delicious bits of heaven as soon as possible. They are perfect with chicken or even Country Fried Steak. You can even eat them by themselves, as they are delicious on their own.

Definitely let me know what you think. Will you be adding this to your rotation? I would love to hear how it turns out!

Work quickly as the dough will start rising again when making the "logs" of dough.

Make them as tight as possible, they will expand.

Make the logs longer rather than shorter (short logs will equal thick slices of bread)
