Texas Roadhouse Roll (with video)

What’s so great about Texas Roadhouse Rolls?

If you’ve ever bitten into a Texas Roadhouse roll, you know how tender and satisfying it is. The special cinnamon butter makes it even more delicious. The water hydrates the dough, causing it to rise and become more fluffy. The butter gives it just the right amount of fat, and the milk holds everything together to create an incredibly soft dough.

However, the key factor is patience. This gives the yeast time to rise and develop the flavor. After making the rolls, let them rise again until at least doubled in size. You’ll be the star when your family walks through the door to the enticing aroma of freshly baked bread.

Ingredient list

1. dry ingredients – All-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar and salt give the roll structure and rise. Bread flour works similarly to other forms of yeast (instant, fast-acting, baking yeast).
2. wet ingredients – Milk, unsalted butter, and water give the rolls a rich, buttery flavor that makes them light and soft. Eggs add fat, flavor, and nice color.
3. cinnamon honey butter – Butter, powdered sugar, honey and cinnamon combine to perfectly complement this amazing roll.

make the dough

• proof yeast – Add the warm water and yeast to a stand mixer and let them dissolve for about 5 minutes. (Photo 1)
• liquid – Combine milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until everything is dissolved. (Photo 2)

• egg – Mix the eggs together. (Photo 3)
• mix 2 minutes on medium speed. Add about 3.5 cups of flour and continue mixing the dough. (Photo 4)
• Knead – Add the required amount of flour to make a soft dough. Please be careful. It is better to use less flour than more. Turn the dough over onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes more. (Photos 5-6)
• first rise – Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn once to coat the dough. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Punch out the fabric. (Photo 7)

How to use the bread machine

• Select the “Dough” cycle to mix and knead and let the dough rise.
• Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine. On a floured surface, divide the dough and form into rolls.
• Then follow the rest of the proofing and baking instructions.

3. savory roll. Skip the sugar and add rosemary, oregano, and thyme to the dough for herbal, aromatic dinner rolls.

recipe memo

1. The water used to activate the yeast should be lukewarm (37-40℃). Your wrist should feel a little warmer. If it’s too cold, the yeast will become inactive, and if it’s too hot, it will die.
2. Making the rolls about the same size will help them bake evenly.
3. If the yeast does not wake up and bubble, it may be past its expiration date. Check expiration dates and get fresh ones if necessary.
