Description
Recreate the beloved Texas Roadhouse Rolls at home with this easy copycat recipe. These fluffy, warm dinner rolls are perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm milk (about 105-110 degrees F)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (room temperature, ½ stick)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar, sprinkle yeast over top, and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the yeast mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add softened butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough ball forms. Increase mixer speed and knead for 2-3 minutes until dough is tacky but not sticky, adding flour by tablespoons if needed.
- Grease a large bowl, place dough inside, turn to coat, cover with a dish towel, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 45-60 minutes).
- Punch down the dough gently, turn onto a floured surface, and knead lightly if needed.
- Roll the dough into a 12×8 inch rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut into 24-30 equal squares.
- Place rolls on prepared baking sheets, cover with a towel, and let rise again until nearly doubled (45-60 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F about 20 minutes before rolls finish rising.
- Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with cinnamon butter for the full Texas Roadhouse experience.
- Ensure your milk is warm but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast.
- Room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs incorporate better into the dough.
