How to Make Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a mixing bowl, whisk warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until frothy and fragrant.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add melted butter, eggs, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Build the Dough
Add flour gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
Step 4: Knead
Knead by hand or mixer for 5–8 minutes until smooth, elastic, and stretchy.
Step 5: First Rise
Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled—about 1 hour.
Step 6: Shape the Rolls
Divide the dough evenly and shape into squares or traditional round rolls. Arrange on a lined baking sheet.
Step 7: Second Rise
Cover and let rise again until puffed and soft to the touch.
Step 8: Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, usually 12–15 minutes.
Step 9 (Optional… but oh my ❤️): Honey Cinnamon Finish
Brush warm rolls with melted butter OR a honey-cinnamon glaze for that classic sweet finish.
Step 10: Serve Warm
Trust me: these are best enjoyed the moment they leave the oven.
