These soft, fluffy, and buttery rolls taste just like the ones from Texas Roadhouse! Perfect for any meal, especially when paired with their famous cinnamon butter.
Ingredients
For the Rolls:
4½ cups all-purpose flour (divided into 3 cups and 1½ cups)
1½ tablespoons instant yeast (rapid rise)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1¼ cups warm milk (110°F)
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg (room temperature)
For Brushing:
2 tablespoons melted butter (for the top of the finished rolls)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add warm milk, softened butter, and egg. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the remaining 1½ cups of flour, a little at a time, until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes) until smooth and elastic.
2. First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Rolls
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.
Cut into 2-inch squares or round rolls using a cutter.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
4. Second Rise
Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
5. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 12–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
6. Brush & Serve
Immediately brush with melted butter for that signature shine and softness.
Serve warm with honey cinnamon butter (mix ½ cup softened butter, ¼ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup honey, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon).
Enjoy!
