Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe

These soft, fluffy rolls are perfect for any dinner or gathering, especially when paired with the sweet and creamy honey cinnamon butter. They’re great for making ahead of time or baking fresh when you need them.

Ingredients:

For the Rolls:

  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1 package or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the board
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (optional, for brushing on top after baking)

For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

  • In a small bowl or cup, stir together the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow the yeast to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and starts to activate. This step helps ensure that the yeast is alive and ready to make the dough rise.
    (Tip: Warm milk, not hot, will activate the yeast—aim for about 110°F/45°C.)

2. Mix the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, combine the flour, egg, 1/3 cup melted butter, and salt.
  • Add the activated yeast mixture and stir until the dough starts to come together.
  • Once the dough has formed, either knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer to knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic.
    (The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but it should not be too wet.)

3. Let the Dough Rise:

  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and place it in a warm area to rise for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
    (Tip: If you don’t have a warm spot, you can preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C), turn it off, and place the bowl inside to rise.)

4. Shape the Rolls:

  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12-15 equal pieces (depending on how big you want the rolls).
  • Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a 9×13-inch pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
  • Cover the rolls with a clean towel and allow them to rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they are puffy and nearly doubled in size.

5. Bake the Rolls:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  • If you want extra buttery rolls, brush the warm rolls with the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

6. Make the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

  • While the rolls are baking, prepare the honey cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, honey, and powdered sugar.
  • Mix until smooth and creamy.
    (Tip: If the butter is too firm, microwave it for a few seconds to soften it.)

7. Serve:

  • Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then serve them warm with the honey cinnamon butter on the side or spread on top!

Pro Tips:

  • Kneading Tip: If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for about 7-10 minutes. It’s a great way to release some stress, and the dough will turn out just as good.
  • Rising Tips: If you’re short on time, you can place the dough in a warm oven (about 100°F/38°C) to speed up the rising process.
  • Freezing Option: You can freeze the rolls before baking them. Shape the dough into rolls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until firm. Then, transfer them to a ziplock bag. When you’re ready to bake, let them rise, then bake as usual.

FAQ:

Q1: Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

  • Yes! You can prepare the dough the night before, let it rise in the fridge, then shape and bake the rolls the next day. Or, you can freeze them before baking, then let them thaw and rise before baking them off fresh.

Q2: How do I store these rolls?

  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you have a lot left over, you can freeze them as well and reheat them in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to eat them.

Q3: Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?

  • Yes, you can! Bread flour will give the rolls a slightly chewier texture, but they’ll still turn out delicious.

Conclusion:

These Texas Roadhouse Rolls are the perfect combination of soft, fluffy bread with a hint of sweetness, especially when paired with that amazing honey cinnamon butter. Whether you’re serving them with dinner or enjoying them as a treat on their own, these rolls are sure to be a hit!
