Texas Roadhouse Roll Dough

The dough for these famed copycat rolls comes collectively shortly and simply.

Listed below are a couple of fast suggestions for final success:

1. The recipe requires scalded milk. This implies heating the milk to only beneath a boil till the milk is steaming and small bubbles kind across the edge. Don’t use skim milk. Two % or entire milk works finest.
2. Along with the milk, we’re additionally utilizing water, too. Utilizing each water and milk lends the proper texture to the rolls. Not too dense. Not too ethereal. They’re good.
3. It’s vital to add the yeast as soon as the butter/honey/milk/water combination cools to between 105-110 levels F. An instant-read thermometer (I’ve this one and find it irresistible) may also help right here in order that the yeast doesn’t finish in a tragic demise because of lava-hot liquid. Should you don’t have a thermometer, dip your finger within the combination – it ought to really feel like pleasantly heat (however not sizzling) tub water. 
4. These rolls are sweeter than most different “commonplace” dinner roll recipes. That’s as a result of we’re going full-on Texas Roadhouse model, and we’re utilizing honey because the sweetener. Should you sub sugar for the honey, control the flour quantity – you’ll possible want a bit much less flour.

Add the flour step by step and knead for a couple of minutes within the mixer.

Don’t over flour the dough. It ought to be gentle and barely sticky, not stiff. Add extra flour provided that the dough is tremendous sticky and clings to the perimeters, backside, or middle of the bowl.

The precise quantity of flour will differ based mostly on a wide range of components, however in my kitchen, I take advantage of proper round 7 3/4 cups of flour. I make use of the fluff-dip-sweep technique for measuring.

Cowl and let the dough rise till doubled.

The best way to Get Sq. Formed Rolls

Flip the dough out onto a calmly greased or very calmly floured counter and press or roll right into a rectangle about 1/2- to three/4-inch thick.

Use a pizza wheel to chop the dough into 24 squares. It doesn’t need to be actual! These rolls are supposed to be a bit rustic.

If you find yourself with some greater squares (ahem, like my row on the far left), you possibly can trim a strip from the bigger rolls and press onto the aspect of the smaller rolls to even them out.

Or simply depart them as they’re. I promise they’ll get devoured both method.

I place the rolls 12 to a pan, spaced about an inch aside.

Allow them to rise till very puffy and doubled in top. It’s vital to allow them to rise absolutely on this step for optimum fluffiness! (The rolls pictured beneath haven’t risen but.)

Texas Roadhouse Impact

Bake the rolls till calmly golden on prime and backside.

Instantly out of the oven, brush the tops with a wholesome quantity of melted butter. Don’t skip – or skimp – this step!

With the buttered tops, the fluffy, calmly candy rolls are unimaginable!

As a result of the Texas Roadhouse rolls are made from-scratch and contemporary at every restaurant, they’re exhausting to beat by way of selfmade deliciousness, however this copycat recipe has completed it.

My Aunt Marilyn and I’ve been sharing suggestions forwards and backwards to get these rolls good: gentle and lightweight whereas nonetheless holding on to only the correct quantity of fluffy heft.

Don’t Neglect the Cinnamon Honey Butter

These rolls are scrumptious irrespective of the way you eat them, however they’re DIVINE with a swirl of cinnamon honey butter.

I’m going to publish a recipe for the cinnamon honey butter in a couple of days simply so it could possibly have a placeholder of its personal, however when you can’t wait that lengthy, right here it’s.

There are a whole lot of knockoff recipes for cinnamon honey butter on-line that decision for powdered sugar, too, however I discovered it overpowered the honey taste in a method I didn’t get pleasure from, so I stripped the honey butter down to only the fundamentals, and the buttery, candy, cinnamon taste is so, so good.
