Description

This Texas Roadhouse Rolls recipe delivers soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet yeast rolls, perfect for any meal. Made with simple ingredients like milk, butter, eggs, and a touch of cinnamon honey butter for an irresistible finish, these rolls are a crowd-pleaser with a tender crumb and golden crust.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (to activate the yeast)
  • 2 cups milk (scalded and cooled to lukewarm)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 7 cups all-purpose flour (up to 8 cups, as needed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Finishing Butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for brushing over finished rolls)

Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar in the bowl of your mixer and lightly whisk. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy.
  2. Make the dough: Add scalded and cooled milk, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Lightly mix using the dough hook attachment for about 1 minute. Gradually add flour, 2 to 3 cups at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough forms. Continue adding flour as needed (between 6 to 8 cups total), mixing until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl.
  3. First rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, which typically takes about 1 hour.
  4. Prep the baking sheets: Spray two baking sheets evenly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cut into rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into two portions. Roll each portion out to about ½ inch thickness, trim the edges to form a perfect rectangle, then cut into squares or rectangles. Repeat with both portions to yield approximately 30 to 35 rolls. Arrange rolls on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Second rise: Allow the shaped rolls to rise again on the baking sheets until doubled in size, roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃).
  7. Bake the rolls: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush the tops with melted butter to keep them soft and flavorful.
  8. Make the honey cinnamon butter: While the rolls bake, whisk together softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  9. Serve: Serve the warm rolls with the prepared cinnamon honey butter spread for a sweet, buttery finish.

Notes

  • Ensure milk is cooled to lukewarm after scalding to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Adjust flour quantity as needed depending on humidity and dough consistency.
  • Brushing with butter immediately after baking keeps rolls soft and adds flavor.
  • Honey cinnamon butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For extra softness, cover rolls with a clean kitchen towel right after baking while they cool.
