The fluffy and lightly sweet rolls that keep everyone coming back to Texas Roadhouse that can now be made at home!
Prep Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 15 mins. Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Ingredients
1 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups milk cold to room
3 Tbsp. melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
5 cups flour
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup honey
Cinnamon Honey Butter
1 cup butter barely warm (remove from fridge and let sit about 20 minutes)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Cinnamon Honey Butter
Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, whip the butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and combine; add the honey and the cinnamon. Mix well. Store in the fridge or at room temperature, if using soon. Serve at room temperature.
1. Place milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside. In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, combine yeast, warm water, and 1 tbsp sugar . Let the yeast get bubbly. Add the rest of the sugar, honey, milk, and 3 1/2 c. flour to the yeast mixture. Beat together for two minutes. Add butter, eggs, and salt. Mix again, well. 3. Add the rest of the sugar, honey, milk, and 3 1/2 cups flour to the yeast mixture. Beat together for two minutes. Add butter, eggs, and salt. Mix it well. 4. Remove the whisk attachment and start using the hook attachment from here. Add the rest of the flour a half a cup at a time until the dough begins to separate from the sides of the bowl. Let it rest for 3-5 minutes.
5. Knead the dough in the bowl for 5 minutes. Add flour a tablespoon at a time if the dough seems sticky. Get out a large bowl and grease it with butter. 6. Remove dough from the mixing bowl and place in the greased bowl. Flip it around till the entire outside is nice and shiny. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to double in size (about 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen). Once the dough has doubled, smash it down with your fists (also called “punching”) for about a minute.
7. Roll the dough out to about a 1/2 inch thick. Then fold the dough in half, now making it an inch thick, and roll over with a rolling pin to seal it together. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares using a dough scraper (or whatever you have that will work well to cut the dough). 8. Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, a dozen on a pan like you would cookies, and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to double in size again (about 1 hour). 9. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Immediately rub the tops with a little bit of butter for that fabulous shine. Enjoy!
