Texas Roadhouse Rolls
These Texas Roadhouse Rolls are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, just like the ones served at the restaurant. Perfect for any meal, these rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be served with honey butter for an extra touch of sweetness.
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 stand mixer optional
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 dough hook if using stand mixer
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper optional
- 1 kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk warm (110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
- Add melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add in the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use a dough hook and mix on low speed until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead on low speed for about 3-4 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter.
Notes
For added flavor, you can mix some garlic powder into the melted butter before brushing it onto the rolls. Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage. These rolls can also be served with honey butter, made by mixing softened butter with honey to taste.
