Texas Roadhouse is a steak restaurant that people go crazy for here in Texas and Arkansas. I’m not a steak kind of gal but they have some seriously good BBQ chicken that I devour rather quickly. What I do love are the homemade rolls that they bring to the table with cinnamon honey butter, oh they are really worth breaking any low carbohydrate diet for. The recipe here is a copycat recipe of course, and I really think the rolls at the restaurant are better but… these rolls are really good too! The rolls at the Roadhouse are lighter more airy than these but these rolls come in as a close second in taste. I found this recipe somewhere on the Internet probably pinterest but I really can’t remember, but the source I used was the blog Envy My Cooking, what a great name for a cooking blog. If you aren’t a homemade bread maker then maybe you should try out making rolls, it really isn’t that hard, you just have to dive in with both feet. I’ve always been fascinated with bread making and how the yeast works, not that I’m a pro at all but when it does workout great for me I sure feel like one. Come on get into the kitchen and give these rolls a try.
Texas Roadhouse Rolls {Copycat Recipe}
7-8 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. active dry yeast
1/2 c warm water
2 c milk warmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 c sugar
Directions:
Step 1: Dissolve yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar in a large mixing bowl (I use a stand mixer bowl). Let stand until light and foamy.
Step 2: Heat the milk and butter in the microwave until butter melts. Let the milk butter mixture cool to warm not hot because it could kill your yeast if it’s added while it’s hot. Mix sugar, eggs and salt then add to the yeast mixture.
Step 3: Add half of the flour to the wet ingredient mixture, use the dough hook turn on mixer to stir, or mix by hand. Add the remainder flour and turn on mixture to stir letting it knead for about 5 minutes. If the dough is really sticky then add 1/2 cup of flour at a time to dough until it forms a nice ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
Step 4: Grease a large bowl with oil or spray with cooking spray. Then put the dough into the greased bowl; turn over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
Step 5: Punch down, then turn out dough onto a floured counter top. Divide into portions for shaping; I made large rolls, I weighed them to try and be accurate on the size. After shaping and placing on greased baking sheet(s) or use parchment paper and you don’t need any spray or grease, let rise until doubled.
Step 6: Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Baste immediately with butter. Yield: 20 large rolls or 5 to 6 dozen, small rolls.
These look so buttery and delicious! I could easily inhale the entire pan :).
