No reviews

This copycat Raising Cane’s bread recipe yields two soft, slightly sweet loaves that slice thick and bake golden brown. Perfect for garlic butter toast and dipping in Cane’s signature sauce, it’s an ideal homemade version of the beloved Texas toast served at Raising Cane’s. The dough is enriched with milk, egg, and vegetable oil for tenderness, then carefully kneaded, proofed, and baked to achieve a fluffy yet sturdy bread. Paired with a simple garlic butter spread and a tangy, flavorful Cane’s-style dipping sauce, this recipe brings the iconic fast-food side to your kitchen with ease.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves (each loaf contains 8 slices)

Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (580g)
  • 1½ cups warm milk, about 110°F (355g)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoon or 7g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (6g)
  • 1 egg (50g)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (55g)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • splash of milk

Garlic Butter for One Loaf

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Copycat Raising Cane’s Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • dash hot sauce (such as Cholula)

Instructions

  1. Mix and Knead Dough: Add flour, sugar, salt, yeast, warm milk, egg, and vegetable oil to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed until flour is absorbed and a rough dough forms. Increase to medium-low or medium speed and knead for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the bowl sides. If too sticky, add up to ¼ cup extra flour carefully for a soft dough.
  2. First Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for about 1½ hours, until puffy and roughly doubled in size.
  3. Divide Dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half for two loaves. Set one half aside while shaping the first loaf.
  4. Shape Loaves: Take one half and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a slightly rounded log roughly the size of a mini baguette or thick “snake,” with the seam side down for a smooth top. Place all 8 logs side by side into a greased or parchment-lined 9.5 x 5.5-inch loaf pan. Repeat with the second half for the second loaf.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Lightly beat one egg with a splash of milk. Brush the tops of both loaves evenly, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  6. Second Proofing: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Let the loaves proof a second time for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the dough rises to the top edge of the pans.
  7. Bake: Bake the loaves at 350°F for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and the internal temperature reaches 200°F. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before slicing.
  8. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter with garlic powder. Optionally, add a pinch of black pepper or parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Brush generously onto each bread slice before toasting.
  9. Make Copycat Cane’s Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and a dash of hot sauce until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to develop flavors. Serve alongside the toasted bread.
  10. Freeze for Later (Optional): Slice baked loaves, spread slices with garlic butter, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Stack frozen slices in a freezer bag. Toast directly from frozen using a skillet, oven, or air fryer when ready.

Notes

  • This recipe yields two full loaves; bake both on the same day for best results. Freeze leftovers sliced and buttered for quick toasting later.
  • Use a kitchen scale to ensure uniform dough pieces for evenly sized bread rolls.
  • Adjust flour carefully during kneading; dough should remain soft for tender bread.
  • Raising Cane’s sauce tastes better if chilled for several hours before serving.
  • Garlic butter with added parmesan lends extra richness and flavor to the toast.
  • When freezing garlic-buttered slices, arrange them individually on a tray before bagging to prevent sticking.
  • Serve the bread warm with Cane’s sauce for an authentic fast-food experience.
