Copycat Raising Cane's Garlic Bread
This soft, garlicky loaf mimics the buttery pull-apart bread served at Raising Cane’s, perfect for dunking or building a sandwich.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1 each egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, pour warm water over the yeast and sugar. Stir gently and wait 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and garlic powder.
- Add the foamy yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it seam-side down in the pan. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and optionally sprinkle with garlic powder or coarse salt.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until deeply golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Remove from pan and cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Best enjoyed warm with butter or alongside fried chicken. Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days at room temperature.
