Texas Roadhouse Rolls - I Heart Naptime (2024)

If you’d like to make these rolls ahead of time you most definitely can.

Prepare the dough and let it rise, shape it into rolls, and refrigerate them overnight. Remove from the fridge and allow the rolls to rise for atleast 1 hour and then bake them. Once baked they will keep well in an airtight container for 3 days.

Yes, absolutely! Freeze them in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
You can also freeze the dough balls before baking. Flash-freeze the dough balls and then transfer them to a freezer bag.

When you’re ready to bake them, thaw them overnight in the fridge. Then, place them on a buttered 9×13-inch baking dish and allow them to rise for about 4 hours. Bake as directed.

• ▢ 1 cup milk
• ▢ 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter , sliced
• ▢ ⅓ cup honey
• ▢ ⅔ cup warm water , about 105°F
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
• ▢ 2 teaspoons salt
• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ 5-6 cups all-purpose or bread flour , use the extra cup as needed
• ▢ melted butter , for brushing

Cinnamon butter

• ▢ ½ cup salted butter
• ▢ ¼ cup honey
• ▢ ½ teaspoon cinnamon , more to taste

• In a small pot bring the milk to a light simmer. Remove from heat when small bubbles form.

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a bread hook (or dough hook), add the butter and hot milk. Allow butter to melt and then add honey and warm water. When the temperature is about 105°F add the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it foams up.

• Add the salt, egg and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until combined and then add in 1/2 cup flour at a time and continue to mix on medium speed, until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides. You’ll know it’s ready when your fingers no longer stick to the dough but it's still soft. Knead on medium speed 3-5 minutes.

• Cover the bowl and let rise 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

• When the dough has risen, punch it down and place on a lightly floured surface.

• Roll the dough into a large rectangle about 13×9 inches and 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 20 squares and place on a 15×10 baking sheets. Cover and let rise another hour, or until they've puffed up.

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is cooked through. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter.

• While the rolls are baking, place the butter, honey and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Then whip until creamy. Add more cinnamon if desired.
