While the Texas Roadhouse rolls ingredients list has never been released to the public, once you take a bite of these delicious rolls you feel like you’re sitting in your favorite booth. 

Every time we go out to eat there I always wonder how to make Texas Roadhouse rolls at home so I can indulge without having to ACTUALLY go there. Let me tell you, going out to dinner sounds like fun and games until you get around to loading everyone up and then hoping they all behave. Haha. 

When I do get around to making these delicious little devils, I tend to double the batch so I can freeze the other half for later! And then just quickly make up our amazing cinnamon honey butter recipe, and then get down to business, aka eating and enjoying the sweet and delicious rolls.

Ingredients You Need to For Our Texas Roadhouse Rolls Copycat Recipe:

• Active dry yeast
• Sugar 
• Warm water
• Milk, scaled and cooked to room temperature 
• Butter 
• Honey
• Eggs, room temperature 
• Salt
• All purpose flour

How To Make Our Texas Roadhouse Rolls Copycat Recipe:

Get out your stand mixer and add in the active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and the warm water. 

Mix it all together and then let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. 

Now spray a medium sized bowl with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease it with vegetable oil and set it aside for later to place the dough in.

Next add the scalded milk, melted butter, honey, eggs, sugar, and salt and turn the mixer on with the dough hook and let it mix for about 1 minute. 

After that’s begun to mix, stop the mixer and add in one cup of flour at a time, mixing in between each cup. 

You will need to add anywhere between 6-8 cups of flour. This will vary based on the humidity where you live. 

After you’ve added 6 cups only add ¼ cup of flour at a time until your dough no longer sticks to the sides when it’s mixing. 

Once you get the right consistency, allow the dough to knead in the mixer with the dough hook for another 4-5 minutes. 

After the dough is done kneading, place the dough in the prepared bowl and then cover it with a clean kitchen towel (slightly dampen your towel if you live in a dry area).

Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This will normally take about 45-90 minutes depending on the temperature of the room. 

Pro Tip: If you do live in a colder area or keep your house slightly cooler, preheat your oven for 2-3 minutes and then place the bowl in the oven with the light on and then turn the oven off. This will provide added warmth to allow the yeast to grow.

Then spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray and set them aside. 

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and turn it out onto a well floured surface./ 

Now take a sharp knife and divide the dough into 2 sections and then roll the dough out into a rectangle shape that is about ½ inch thick. 

Now cut the rectangle into 15-16 square or rectangle pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.

Then repeat the same steps with the other half of the dough giving you about 30-32 rolls. 

 After the rolls are cut, place them on the prepared baking sheets and then cover them with a clean kitchen towl and let them double in size. Give the dough about 30-60 minutes to rise. 

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Once the rolls have doubled in size, bake the rolls in the oven for 12-18 minutes or until they are golden brown. 

Immediately after removing the rolls from the oven, brush them with melted butter. 

Our favorite butters to use for these rolls are our cinnamon honey butter or raspberry honey butter recipes.

Key Tips and Information For Making Texas Roadhouse Rolls 

How to Scald Milk:

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until it is almost boiling. Remove the saucepan from the heat when you see it begin to steam and small bubbles form on the edges of the pan. Let the temperature go down to lukewarm, (which is between 80-90 degrees).

How Warm Should Your Water Be?

In order to activate the yeast, water needs to be about 105-110 degrees. I have found that a good rule of thumb is to use water that is as hot as you would wash your face in. If it’s too hot to wash your face, it’s too hot for your yeast. If it’s too cold to wash your face, it won’t activate the yeast.

Struggle to Get Your Dough to Rise?

The colder the temps inside your house, the longer it will take for your dough to rise. Here’s a little tip if it’s cooler inside your house or cold outside and your dough is taking a long time to rise: try turning your oven on for about 2 minutes on preheat (with the oven light on!) and then turning it off completely. Then put the rolls in to rise, you can use that little boost of heat to speed up the rising process.

Still Having Problems Getting Your Bread or Rolls to Rise? Here Are A Few More Ideas:

• Your yeast might be expired. Make sure that you check the date – expired yeast won’t work as great, if it works at all.
• If you have an opened yeast package or jar that you keep in the fridge or freezer for storage, you will need to take out the amount you need for your recipe at least 30 minutes before using it so that it can come to room temperature.
• Yeast is a living organism and over time it will become not as effective (even if you haven’t ever opened the package). If you don’t bake with yeast too often, we recommend buying the smaller packets of yeast instead of a large container.
• If your water is too hot or too cold, it could kill the yeast or not activate it at all. You really need the temperature of your water in the sweet spot of 105-110 degrees. I have found that a good rule of thumb is to use water that is as hot as you would wash your face in. If it’s too hot to wash your face, it’s too hot for your yeast. If it’s too cold to wash your face, it won’t activate the yeast.

Ingredients

• ▢ 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• ▢ 1 teaspoon sugar
• ▢ ½ cup warm water*
• ▢ 2 cups milk, (scalded and cooled to lukewarm temperature*)
• ▢ 3 Tablespoons butter, (melted and slightly cooled)
• ▢ ¼ cup sugar
• ▢ ¼ cup honey
• ▢ 2 eggs, room temperature
• ▢ 2 teaspoons salt
• ▢ 6-8 cups all-purpose flour

Equipment

• Mixer (Stand)
• Mixing Bowl (Medium)
• 2 Sheet Pan (Half Sheet)
• Non-stick Cooking Spray
• Pastry Brush

Instructions

1. In the bowl of your mixing stand, add yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm water. Mix together until combined and then let stand until frothy (about 10 minutes – this will let the yeast dissolve).
2. While the yeast dissolves, spray the inside of a mixing bowl with non-stick cooking spray or put a little bit of vegetable or olive oil on a paper towel and wipe the inside of the bowl with it. Set this bowl aside (you will use it later for the bread to rise).
3. In the bowl of the mixer, add the scalded milk, melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, honey, eggs, and salt. Using the dough hook on your mixer, mix together for about 1 minute. Start to add the flour to the mixing bowl, 1 cup at a time and mixing in-between adding cups of flour (depending on where you live, the humidity/weather that day, and temperature in your kitchen, the amount of flour that you use will vary – some days it's 6 cups, sometimes it's about 8). Continue to add flour until the dough doesn't stick to the side of the bowl when it is mixing. Let it knead in the mixer with the dough hook for 4-5 minutes.
4. Place the dough in the prepared oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel (sometimes I will even make the towel a little damp because I live in a dry place without much humidity). Let the dough rise in a warm place until it's double in size (this first rise can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours – if you live in a cold place or keep the inside temperature of your home on the cooler side, it might take longer for your yeast to rise. A little tip if it's cooler inside your house: try turning your oven on for about 2 minutes on preheat (with the oven light on!) and then turning it off completely. Then put the rolls in to rise- you can use that little boost of heat to speed up the rising process.
5. Spray two baking sheets (cookie sheets) with non-stick cooking spray.
6. Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface.
7. Divide the dough into 2 sections, then roll the dough out into a rectangle shape that is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough into 15-16 pieces (I usually do squares or rectangles – you can cut your shapes with a knife or even a pizza cutter to get those crisp edges). Repeat with the other half of the dough, which will give you 30-32 rolls total.
8. Place rolls on the baking sheets sprayed with non-stick spray, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them double in size (this should take 30 minutes to an hour).
9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
10. Bake rolls for 12-18 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Brush with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
12. We highly recommend serving these with our cinnamon honey butter recipe or raspberry honey butter!

Notes

How warm should your water be? In order to activate the yeast, water needs to be about 105-110 degrees. I have found that a good rule of thumb is to use water that is as hot as you would wash your face in. If it’s too hot to wash your face, it’s too hot for your yeast. If it’s too cold to wash your face, it won’t activate the yeast.

Continue to add flour until the dough doesn’t stick to the side of the bowl when it is mixing.

How to freeze: This recipe makes a ton of rolls – after they have baked and cooled down to room temperature, I will place rolls in gallon-sized freezer bags, remove as much of the air as possible, and keep them frozen until I need them as a later day. When you are ready to eat them, pull them out of the freezer a few hours before and let them thaw, then microwave them for a few seconds to warm them up!
