How to Make Easy Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir to combine. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12-15 squares.
6. Second Rise: Place the squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30-40 minutes, until puffy.
7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Butter the Rolls: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
9. Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
10. Serve: Serve the warm rolls with a generous dollop of cinnamon honey butter.

Tips For Easy Copycat Texas RoadHouse Rolls

• Temperature Check: Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
• Resting Time: Allow the rolls to rise fully for a light and fluffy texture.
• Freezing: You can freeze the unbaked rolls after the second rise. Just thaw them before baking.

Substitutions and Variations

• Whole Wheat Option: Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier roll.
• Herbed Butter: Add minced garlic or herbs to the melted butter for a savory twist.

Make a Healthier Version

• Low-Sugar: Reduce the sugar in the dough or use a sugar substitute like stevia.
• Butter Alternatives: Use a dairy-free butter alternative for a lactose-free version.
