Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.
- Active Dry Yeast – make sure your yeast is not expired
- Milk
- Warm Water
- Eggs
- Granulated Sugar
- Butter
- All Purpose Flour
- Salt
How To Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls
- Scald Milk. The first step is to scald your milk. This sounds complicated, but is actually really easy. Put 2 cups of milk in a sauce pan and heat until it is almost boiling. You will see foam start to form around the edges, it starts to steam, and bubbles are across the surface as well. Remove from the heat and let it cool to 95 degrees F (this takes about 20 minutes).
- Bloom Yeast. While the milk is cooling dissolve yeast and 1 tsp of sugar into the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to “bloom” or foam up.
- Make Batter. Once the milk has cooled mix together the milk, yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, sugar and 4 cups for flour together in a stand mixer using a dough hook. It should start to form a smooth batter.
- Add Flour. Add in 4 more cups of flour and the salt and mix until it forms a stiff dough. If you need additional flour add a little at a time to get it to come together.
- Knead Dough. Once you have a stiff dough, knead for about 10 minutes, until it is soft and satiny.
- First Rise. Place in a well oiled bowl, cover, and place in a warm draft free place to let it double in size. This should take 60-90 minutes depending on the temperature.
- Form Rolls. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle that is 1/2 inch thick. Take the short edge of the dough and fold it in half, so you now have a rectangle that is 1 inch thick. Gently roll to seal the edges. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Second Rise. Cut the dough into 24 squares and place them on a lined or greased baking sheet. Cover and let rest for about 60 minutes, until they are puffed up.
- Bake. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes until they are golden. Brush the tops with melted butter.
Cinnamon Honey Butter
Texas Roadhouse serves their rolls with this delicious cinnamon honey butter. It is a mixture of butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. It is absolutely delicious.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
But if you want to serve your rolls with just a slathering of regular butter I will not judge you. In fact it is what we do most of the time here.
Storage
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for a few days. You can also freeze them! This recipe does make 24 rolls, so leftovers is probably likely. I like to arrange them on a baking sheet and place that in the freezer for a few hours for them to freeze. Then transfer to a freezer safe bag and store in the freezer for 4-5 months. This way you can take out a one or a few whenever you like!
Reheating
If your rolls are frozen just leave them on the counter for a couple hours for them to come to room temperature. Place room temperature rolls in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes to get them nice and warm.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Pay attention to the temperature of you liquid. You need the water or milk to be warm, but not really hot. It is best to use a thermometer to measure the temperature to get what is stated in the recipe.
- Use good yeast. You want to make sure your yeast is not expired and is stored in the proper conditions. Storing it in the fridge works the best. If the yeast is expired, toss it and get new stuff.
- Knead your dough. You can use an electric mixer with a dough hook or your hands, but make sure you follow the time stated in the recipe.
- Let your bread rise. Yeast likes to feed on the sugar and rise in a slightly warm dark place. If it is winter and your house is cold, place your bowl of dough near a heat vent. If you have a bread proof setting on your oven, use it. You can even just put it in your oven with the light on for a little extra heat.
