Ingredients:
- For the Dough:
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a touch of extra sweetness)
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and egg. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, add the salt and continue to mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough. Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arranging them close together to allow for a soft, pull-apart texture.
- Second Rise:
- Cover the rolls with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until puffed and slightly touching.
- Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finish with Butter:
- Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with honey if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the rolls warm with additional butter on the side. These rolls are perfect for family dinners, holiday gatherings, or as a delicious snack.
Enjoy your homemade Texas Roadhouse rolls, and savor the soft, buttery goodness that makes them so special!
