  • Flour: Unbleached bread flour is the best to replicate the Texas Roadhouse texture.
  • Yeast: This recipe uses active yeast, which you need to activate with warm water and sugar first. But if you’re using instant yeast, you can just mix it right in with the other ingredients.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Now you can make warm, buttery Texas Roadhouse rolls in your own kitchen! These homemade rolls are soft, fluffy, and just as irresistible as the real thing. Pair them with cinnamon honey butter to really take them to the next level!

  1. Activate the Yeast: Add the active dry yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk and cover the bowl with a towel for 5 minutes to proof, the yeast should become frothy.
  2. Melt Butter: While the yeast proofs, microwave the milk and butter for 45 seconds, then stir until melted. Let it cool to room temp before using.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Once the yeast is frothy and the milk is cooled, add the milk mixture to the yeast along with the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 cups of the flour, the egg, and salt. Using the dough hook, mix on medium-low speed until the dough starts to come together. Add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the mixer. It should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
  4. Let Rise: Lightly oil a bowl, add the dough, cover it, place it in a warm place and let the dough rise for 45–60 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Roll: Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough out onto it. Roll the dough out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle, about 10×8 inches.
  6. Shape, Proof, and Bake: Cut the rectangle into 12 equal pieces. Place the dough pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the rolls and let them proof for 20 minutes. While the rolls proof, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. When the rolls are ready, bake them for 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Enjoy warm Texas roadhouse rolls with honey butter !
