Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Melted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for brushing)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for cinnamon butter)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam but not boil. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to lukewarm.
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar (1 tablespoon from the 0.25 cup), and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the yeast mixture to the milk mixture, stirring until combined.
Gradually add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 60-90 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness, then cut into 2x2 inch squares or desired shape.
Place the rolls onto a greased baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each roll. Cover and let them rise again for about 30-40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter.
For the cinnamon butter, combine softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Serve the warm Texas Roadhouse rolls with the cinnamon butter and enjoy!
