Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm milk and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary.
- First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares (about 2×2 inches).
- Second Rise:
- Place the cut rolls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter:
- As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter.
For the Honey Cinnamon Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Serve the warm rolls with the honey cinnamon butter on the side.
Enjoy your warm, soft, and buttery Texas Roadhouse-style rolls with a sweet, cinnamon-flavored butter!
