Texas Roadhouse rolls are famous for their soft, buttery texture and delicious flavor. While the exact recipe may be proprietary, here’s a copycat recipe that closely resembles the taste and texture of Texas Roadhouse rolls:
Ingredients:
For the rolls:
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4-4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the cinnamon honey butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
- Add the salt, beaten egg, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 20 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter. In a small bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the warm Texas Roadhouse rolls with the cinnamon honey butter on the side for dipping.
