Description

Recreate the soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet Texas Roadhouse bread rolls right in your kitchen. These golden-brown rolls, paired with creamy cinnamon butter, are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for any meal or gathering.


Ingredients

Flour: High-quality all-purpose flour provides the structure and softness of the rolls.

Yeast: Active dry yeast ensures a light and airy texture through proper leavening.

Milk: Whole milk adds a subtle richness and moistness to the dough.

Sugar: A hint of sugar gives the rolls their characteristic sweetness.

Butter: Both in the dough and brushed on top, butter enhances the flavor and softness.

Salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enriches the taste.


Instructions

Creating Texas Roadhouse bread rolls at home requires attention to detail and a step-by-step approach to replicate their famous texture and flavor. Follow this detailed guide to achieve perfect results.

  1. Prepare the Dough
    1. Combine warm milk (1 cup), sugar (½ cup), and active dry yeast (1 packet). Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
    2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour (4 cups), salt (1 tsp), and melted butter (¼ cup). Gradually add the yeast mixture, kneading until the dough is soft and elastic.
  2. Let It Rise
    1. Place a moist cloth over the dough and allow it to rest in a warm area for one to two hours, or until it expands to twice its original size. Proper rising ensures the soft and airy texture of the rolls
  3. Shape the Rolls
    1. Deflate the dough by pressing it gently, then spread it out on a surface dusted with flour. Cut it into evenly sized rectangles and shape them into rolls. Arrange the shaped rolls onto a baking tray that has been lightly coated with grease.
  4. Second Rise
    1. Allow the shaped rolls to rise for another 30-40 minutes until they double in size again. This step is crucial for achieving the fluffy consistency.
  5. Bake to Perfection
    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the rolls in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until their tops achieve a golden-brown hue.
  6. Add the Finishing Touch
    1. Brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a glossy finish and serve immediately with cinnamon butter.

Notes

  • Use Warm Liquids: Ensure the milk is warm (around 110°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Accurate Measurements: Weigh ingredients or level off cups for precise results, especially for flour.
  • Even Shaping: Cut and shape the rolls evenly to ensure consistent baking.
  • Don’t Skip the Butter Glaze: Brushing melted butter on the hot rolls adds a glossy finish and extra flavor.
