🍞 Texas Roadhouse Rolls (Copycat)

Ingredients (Makes 12–15 rolls)

For the Rolls

1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
2 ¼ tsp active dry or instant yeast (1 packet)
¼ cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp salt
3–3½ cups all-purpose flour

For the Cinnamon Honey Butter

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp honey
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp cinnamon

🥣 Step 1 — Activate Yeast

In a large bowl, mix warm milk + sugar.
Stir in yeast and let sit 5 minutes (until foamy).

If using instant yeast, you can skip proofing, but it still helps the texture.

🧈 Step 2 — Make the Dough

Add egg, melted butter, and salt.
Slowly add flour, starting with 3 cups.
Knead 5–7 minutes until dough is soft, stretchy, and slightly tacky (not sticky).

🕒 Step 3 — First Rise

Place dough in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm place 1 to 1½ hours, until doubled.

🍞 Step 4 — Shape the Rolls

Roll dough into a rectangle about ½–¾ inch thick.
Cut into square or rectangle rolls (Texas Roadhouse style).
Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let rise 30–45 minutes until puffy.

🔥 Step 5 — Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake 15–18 minutes, until light golden brown—not dark.
Brush warm rolls generously with melted butter.

🍯 Step 6 — Cinnamon Honey Butter

Mix together:

softened butter
honey
powdered sugar
cinnamon

Whip until smooth and fluffy.

⭐ Tips for Perfect Rolls

The dough should be soft—adding too much flour makes dense rolls.
Use whole milk for the best richness.
Let the first rise go fully to double size.
For extra-sweet rolls, add 1 extra tablespoon of sugar.
Rolls freeze well after shaping (before second rise).

If you want, I can give you a fast-rise version, a buttermilk version, or a whole-pan dinner roll version
