4 from 61 reviews

This copycat Raising Cane’s bread recipe recreates the soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet loaves served at the popular fast-food chain, complete with a homemade garlic butter spread and their signature tangy sauce. Using a stand mixer to knead the dough, the loaves are proofed twice for perfect rise and baked until golden brown. Serve warm with garlic butter and a flavorful dipping sauce for an authentic Cane’s experience at home.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 loaves (16 rolls total)

Ingredients

Bread Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (580g)
  • 1½ cups warm milk, about 110°F (355g)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons 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: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, yeast, warm milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Start mixing on low speed until the flour is absorbed and a rough dough forms. Increase to medium-low or medium and knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the bowl sides. Add up to ¼ cup more flour if dough is too sticky.
  2. First Rise: Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about 1½ hours, or until it’s doubled and puffy.
  3. Divide Dough: Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Set one half aside. Take half and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
  4. Shape Rolls: Roll each of the 8 pieces into a slightly rounded log, about the size of a mini baguette or thick snake, seam side down for a smooth top.
  5. Arrange in Loaf Pans: Place the 8 rolls side by side in a greased or parchment-lined 9.5 x 5.5-inch loaf pan. Repeat with the other half of dough in a second loaf pan.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Add Sesame Seeds: Lightly beat 1 egg with a splash of milk. Brush the tops of both loaves generously and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Second Proof: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Let the loaves proof for 30 to 45 minutes until dough rises to the top edge of the pans.
  8. Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 35 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reads 200°F. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before slicing.
  9. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush generously on sliced bread before toasting, optionally sprinkle parmesan for extra flavor.
  10. Make Raising Cane’s Sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and hot sauce in a small bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to develop flavors.

Notes

  • Use a kitchen scale to ensure evenly sized rolls for uniform baking.
  • If dough seems sticky during kneading, add flour gradually but keep dough soft to achieve soft bread texture.
  • Allow the sauce to chill for several hours or overnight for best flavor.
  • Check internal temperature of bread with a thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Brush bread with garlic butter before toasting for enhanced taste and aroma.
