→ Texas Roadhouse Rolls
01 -
4 teaspoon active dry yeast
02 -
½ cup warm water
03 -
1 teaspoon sugar (to activate the yeast)
04 -
2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
05 -
3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
06 -
½ cup sugar
07 -
7 cups all-purpose flour (up to 8 cups as needed)
08 -
2 eggs
09 -
2 teaspoon salt
10 -
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, for brushing over finished rolls
→ Cinnamon Honey Butter
11 -
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
12 -
¼ cup powdered sugar
13 -
¼ cup honey
14 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
In the bowl of your mixer, combine the active dry yeast with warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Whisk lightly and let sit for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
02 -
Add the lukewarm scalded milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, ½ cup sugar, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix lightly using the dough hook attachment for about 1 minute to combine the ingredients.
03 -
Gradually add the flour, 2-3 cups at a time, mixing after each addition. Add enough flour to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl (between 6-8 cups total, depending on your environment). Continue kneading with the dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic.
04 -
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
05 -
Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion to approximately ½ inch thickness and shape into a rectangle. Cut into evenly sized squares or rectangles to make about 30-35 rolls total. Place the shaped rolls onto two baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
06 -
Cover the shaped rolls and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
07 -
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
08 -
While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
09 -
Serve the warm rolls with the honey cinnamon butter and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to scald the milk and cool it to lukewarm (around 110°F) for the best yeast activation and roll texture.

The amount of flour needed may vary (6-8 cups) depending on humidity and environmental factors.
