Ingredients

Bread Rolls

  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup whole milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 1/2 cups (15.43 ounces or 437.5 grams) all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Butter

  • 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, combine the instant yeast, warm water, lukewarm milk, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, egg, and salt. Stir until well combined to activate the yeast and begin the dough formation.
  2. Knead the dough: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and knead on medium-low speed until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn off the mixer and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes, then continue kneading on medium-low speed for another 5 minutes until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic. Add extra flour in tablespoons if the dough feels too sticky.
  3. First rise: Transfer the dough to a large greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Shape the rolls: Punch down the risen dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares and arrange them on a baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for approximately 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Brush with butter: After baking, brush the rolls immediately with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter to give them a rich, shiny finish and added moisture.
  7. Make the cinnamon butter: Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the room temperature unsalted butter for 30 seconds until pale and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon, then beat again for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is light, creamy, and well combined.
  8. Serve: Serve the warm bread rolls alongside the fresh cinnamon butter. The butter can also be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and brought to room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your milk is lukewarm (not hot) to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • If the dough is sticky, add a little flour at a time to reach the right consistency for kneading.
  • Allowing the dough to rise twice helps create the light, fluffy texture characteristic of Texas Roadhouse rolls.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter right after baking for a soft crust and extra flavor.
  • The cinnamon butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and should be brought to room temperature before serving for optimal spreadability.
  • For softer rolls, cover the dough lightly with a damp kitchen towel instead of plastic wrap during rising to retain moisture.
