How to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Step 1: Activate the Yeast and Make the Dough

In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, or until the yeast dissolves and becomes foamy. Add the lukewarm milk, melted butter, ½ cup of sugar, eggs, and salt to the bowl. Mix with the dough hook attachment for about 1 minute. Gradually add the flour, 2-3 cups at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Continue adding flour as needed until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 2: Let the Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll out each half to about ½-inch thickness. Trim the edges to create a rectangle, then cut the dough into squares or rectangles to make the rolls. Place the rolls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or greased with cooking spray.

Step 4: Let the Rolls Rise Again

Let the rolls rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 5: Bake and Brush with Butter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) while the rolls are rising. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.

Step 6: Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter

While the rolls are baking, make the cinnamon honey butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the warm rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.
