# What You'll Need:
→ Texas Roadhouse Rolls
01 -
7 cups all-purpose flour (up to 8 cups if needed)
02 -
½ cup sugar
03 -
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
04 -
½ cup warm water
05 -
2 eggs
06 -
1 teaspoon sugar (to wake up the yeast)
07 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for brushing on baked rolls
08 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled a bit
09 -
2 teaspoons salt
10 -
2 cups milk, warmed but not hot
→ Cinnamon Honey Butter
11 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon
12 -
¼ cup honey
13 -
¼ cup powdered sugar
14 -
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
# Directions:
01 -
Stir the yeast, warm water, and teaspoon of sugar together in your mixer bowl. Give it about 10-15 minutes to foam up so you know the yeast is alive.
02 -
Pour in lukewarm milk, melted butter, eggs, salt, and ½ cup of sugar to the yeast mixture. Use the dough hook on your mixer and lightly blend for about a minute so it's all mixed.
03 -
Add flour slowly, around 2-3 cups at a time. Keep mixing after each addition until the dough is soft and doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl. You'll need 6-8 cups total, depending on the feel. Let the mixer knead it until it's nice and smooth.
04 -
Put the dough into a bowl with a light coating of oil. Cover it with a damp towel, set it somewhere warm, and let it double in size—takes about an hour.
05 -
Push the air out of the dough, then roll it out on a floured counter. Cut it into even rectangles or squares about ½ inch thick. You'll get around 30-35 pieces. Spread them out on two greased baking trays.
06 -
Cover the cut pieces and leave them to puff up again for 30 minutes. While they rise, set your oven to heat up to 350°F (175°C).
07 -
Pop the trays in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls have that golden-brown color. As soon as they're out, brush with melted butter.
08 -
Mix the softened butter with the powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until the texture is smooth and creamy.
09 -
Bring the warm rolls to the table with the cinnamon honey butter for spreading. They'll go fast!
# Notes:
01 -
For the yeast to work, scald the milk and let it cool down to around 110°F.
02 -
You may need 6-8 cups of flour, depending on how humid your kitchen is.
03 -
This makes around 30-35 fluffy dinner rolls—great for parties!
