Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Description
The Texas Roadhouse Rolls recipe starts by activating yeast in warm water with sugar until foamy, ensuring the yeast is alive and ready to leaven the dough. Scalded milk that has cooled to lukewarm is added with melted butter, sugar, eggs, salt, and flour. The mixture is kneaded into a soft dough with the proper moisture level, relying on 6 to 8 cups of flour depending on humidity and environment.
After the dough rises in a warm place until doubled in bulk, it is rolled out to a half-inch thickness, cut into squares or rounds, and arranged on baking sheets. The rolls bake until golden and light, resulting in a tender crumb with a delicate crust. The warm rolls are brushed with melted butter and served alongside a cinnamon honey butter made from butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon, adding sweet spice and richness.
This recipe yields about 30 to 35 rolls, making it suitable for larger gatherings or to enjoy fresh throughout the week. The use of scalded milk prepares the dough for optimal yeast activity and contributes to the soft texture.
Ingredients
Texas Roadhouse Rolls
- 4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- ½ cup water warm
- 1 teaspoon sugar (to activate the yeast)
- 2 cups milk scalded and cooled to lukewarm
- 3 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted and slightly cooled
- ½ cup sugar
- 7 cups all-purpose flour up to 8 cups
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted, for brushing over the finished rolls
Cinnamon Honey Butter
- 1 tick butter unsalted, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the yeast, warm water and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and lightly whisk. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and starts to foam.
- To the bowl of your mixer add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Lightly mix everything together, using the dough hook of your mixer, for about 1 minute. Add the flour, 2 or 3 cups at a time, and mix. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Add additional flour as needed and mix until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. You could use anywhere from 6 to 8 cups, depending on your environment.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
- Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide into 2 portions for shaping. I like to roll out the dough so that it's about ½ inch in thickness then cut out the ends to have a perfect rectangle, then cut it out into squares or rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough. You should get about 30 to 35 rolls in total. Place onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Let the rolls rise until doubled in size. While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350℉.
- Bake the rolls for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter by whisking all the ingredients together.
- Serve the rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.
Notes
- Scald milk and cool to around 110°F before using to create the ideal temperature for yeast activity.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment until it doubles to achieve soft rolls.
- The recipe yields approximately 30 to 35 rolls, making it suitable for family meals or gatherings.
- The cinnamon honey butter complements the rolls with a sweet, spiced spread and can be made ahead.
