Texas Roadhouse is famous for its delicious, warm, and fluffy rolls served with sweet cinnamon butter. While the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, here’s a copycat recipe that captures the essence of Texas Roadhouse Rolls and Cinnamon Butter:
Ingredients for the Rolls:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
Ingredients for the Cinnamon Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions for the Rolls:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove it from the heat and let it cool to about 110°F (43°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, remaining sugar, 2 cups of flour, and the softened butter. Mix until well combined.
- Add the egg and salt and mix again.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and elastic, which may take about 5-7 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into portions to make individual rolls. You can make them any size you prefer.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and allow them to rise for another 20-30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Instructions for the Cinnamon Butter:
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon butter by mixing the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Serve the freshly baked rolls with the cinnamon butter while they are still warm.
