This recipe delivers soft, buttery, and fluffy rolls reminiscent of the famous Texas Roadhouse rolls. Made with simple pantry staples and a secret butter soak step, these rolls are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (480g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F (240ml)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus extra for brushing (56g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Optional: garlic powder or fresh herbs for savory twist
  • Optional: buttermilk instead of regular milk

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) with the sugar and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, egg, and honey to the yeast mixture. Stir well to blend.
  4. Form the dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough: Knead on low speed with a stand mixer for 7-8 minutes or by hand on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. First rise: Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  7. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough, divide into 12 equal pieces (about 2 ounces / 57 grams each), roll each into a smooth ball, and place evenly spaced in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
  8. Second rise: Cover the pan loosely and let the rolls rise again for 30-40 minutes.
  9. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tops with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and hollow sounding when tapped.
  10. Final touch: Remove from oven and brush immediately with more melted butter. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh yeast for best results. Maintain milk temperature around 110°F to activate yeast properly. Don’t skip the second rise for fluffiness. Brush rolls with melted butter before and after baking for a golden crust and added moisture. Tent with foil if rolls brown too quickly.
