This Texas Roadhouse rolls recipe is all you will need to make fluffy dinner rolls to serve alongside dinner. They have an incredibly fluffy texture and tantalizing smell, and are delicious slathered with butter alongside a roast dinner.
To make these Texas Roadhouse rolls, you start off by making a dough with yeast, water, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Then, once it has doubled in size, you roll the dough out, cut it into squares, and allow it to rise again, before baking it in the oven. Brushed with butter after baking the rolls gives them a glistening appearance and added flavour.
What are Texas Roadhouse Rolls?
These Texas Roadhouse rolls are inspired by the dinner rolls that are prepared at the American chain restaurant called Texas Roadhouse. Their signature rolls are fluffy and have the same square shape as this copycat Texas Roadhouse rolls recipe.
Pro Tips
- Make sure the yeast you use is fresh and still active before you begin making this dinner roll recipe.
- Don’t overheat the water and milk. The water and milk should just be warm but not so hot that it will kill the yeast. The ideal temperature for the liquids should be between 100 to 110 F (37.7 to 43.3 C).
- If you find that your dough is too soft when you mix it, feel free to add more flour.
- Set the dough in a warm area of your kitchen to help it rise faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Instant Yeast Instead of Dry Active Yeast?
Absolutely! In this case, you won’t need to let the yeast and water mixture sit to proof as it will dissolve in the dough without the activation period.
Can I Make Dinner Rolls Vegan?
Yes, you definitely could. Simply replace the milk and butter with plant-based milk and butter, and you will be good to go.
Why Didn’t My Dough Rise?
Your dough might not rise for a few reasons. For one thing, it could be that your yeast has expired and is no longer active, but another possibility is that your liquid ingredients were too hot and killed the yeast. When baking with yeast, always be mindful of the freshness of the yeast you use and the temperature of the water and milk that you use.
How to Store Texas Roadhouse Rolls
As with other bread recipes, these Texas Roadhouse rolls are best enjoyed in the first one or two days, but if you have some left over, you can easily store them in the fridge or freezer. Simply place them in an airtight container or bag, and store them until you are ready to serve them. At room temperature, they should stay fresh for 4 to 5 days whereas they will store well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
