Texas Roadhouse Rolls
This is my copycat recipe for Texas Roadhouse Rolls! These rolls are incredibly fluffy, buttery, super tender, and slathered in honey cinnamon butter. What more do I need to say?
Prep: 90min
Total: 110min
Serving Size: 1 roll
Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 roll, calories 192 kcal, Carbohydrate 30 g, Protein 4 g, Fat 6 g, Saturated Fat 3 g, Cholesterol 25 mg, Sodium 168 mg, Sugar 7 g
Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar ((to activate the yeast))
- 2 cups milk (scalded and cooled to lukewarm)
- 3 tablespoon butter (unsalted, melted and slightly cooled)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 7 cups all-purpose flour (up to 8 cups)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter (unsalted, for brushing over the finished rolls)
- 1 stick butter (unsalted, softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instruction:
- Add the yeast, warm water and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and lightly whisk. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and starts to foam.
- To the bowl of your mixer add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Lightly mix everything together, using the dough hook of your mixer, for about 1 minute. Add the flour, 2 or 3 cups at a time, and mix. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.
- Add additional flour as needed and mix until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. You could use anywhere from 6 to 8 cups, depending on your environment. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
- Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide into 2 portions for shaping. I like to roll out the dough so that it’s about 1/2 inch in thickness then cut out the ends to have a perfect rectangle, then cut it out into squares or rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough. You should get about 30 to 35 rolls. Place onto the prepared baking sheets. Let the rolls rise until doubled in size..
- Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees.
- Bake the rolls for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter by whisking all the ingredients together.
- Serve the rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.

Ingredients:
- 1 packet packet active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ c. warm milk ((about 105-110 degrees F))
- ⅓ c. granulated sugar
- ¼ c. unsalted butter (room temperature, (½ stick))
- 1 large egg (room temperature)

- In a small bowl, add milk and sugar, sprinkle yeast over it.

- Add the yeast mixture to large mixing bowl. Then add ¼ cup butter, egg, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat the mixture on medium speed until batter is smooth.
- Gradually add flour until soft ball of dough forms. Then increase speed on mixer to medium high and beat for 2-3 minutes longer. Dough should be tacky, but not sticky. If too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly grease large bowl and place dough in ball, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with clean dish towel and set in warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
- Punch the dough down dough gently. Lightly flour work surface and turn dough out of bowl. Knead lightly if necessary.
- Let set a few minutes while you prepare the baking sheets with a silicone mat or by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
- Roll dough out to 12×8 inch rectangle, ½ inch thick.
- Cut the dough into even pieces using a sharp knife so you have 24-30 pieces of dough.

- About 20 minutes prior to rising being done, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the rolls in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
