Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast, or 1 packet
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose or bread flour
Steps
- Bring the milk to a near boil. Remove it from heat when you see it begin to steam and small bubbles form on the side of the pan. Let it reduce to lukewarm, between 80-90 degrees.
- Mix the milk, yeast, and honey in a small bowl until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of the butter, the milk mixture, the room temperature egg, salt, and half of the flour. Mix slowly until smooth. (Use a mixer with a dough hook if you have one, or by hand.) Gradually add the remaining flour and mix until a dough has formed.
- Mix/knead for 8 minutes. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for a few more minutes.
- Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.
- Cut into 24 squares of even size and place on 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let them rise for 30-40 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush the top of the rolls.
- Serve with Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter.

Make Ahead Method: Check out the blog post for 3 make-ahead options! Make sure your yeast is fresh and not expired! If Using a Bread Machine (alternate method): Bring the milk to a near boil. Remove it from heat when you see it begin to steam and small bubbles form on the side of the pan. Let it reduce to lukewarm, between 80-90 degrees.; Add the milk, honey, butter, egg, and salt to the bread machine. Add the flour and create a small hole in the middle of the flour, don't let liquid inside the hole. Place the yeast in the hole.; Set the bread machine to the dough cycle, let it do the work from there.; Once complete, spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl (plastic wrap or a damp cloth works) and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.; Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.; Cut into 24 squares of even size and place on 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Cover them and let them rise for 30-40 minutes, until doubled in size.; Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown.; Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush the top of the rolls. Serve with Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter. Subbing Instant/Rapid Rise Yeast for Active Dry: Cooks Illustrated recommends using 25% less yeast if using Instant instead of Active Dry.; In this recipe, that equates to 1 + 3/4 teaspoons.; Combine the yeast with the flour instead of adding it to the warm milk.; Proceed as outlined, no need to let the milk stand for 5 minutes after combining it with the honey. Measuring the Flour: Be sure to scoop your flour out with a spoon and level it out at the top. Don't dip the...
