Handy tip

  • Make sure your milk is warm, not hot. Too high of a temperature can kill the yeast.
  • You can knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  • The rolls are best served warm.

Tips & Tricks

  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor and texture of your rolls. Use fresh yeast, high-quality flour, real butter, and whole milk for the best results.
  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so it’s essential to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for flour, which can greatly affect the texture of your rolls.
  • Activate the Yeast Properly: If you’re using active dry yeast, make sure to activate it properly by dissolving it in warm water (around 110°F/43°C) with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Proper kneading develops gluten in the dough, which gives the rolls their soft and fluffy texture. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer.
  • Proof the Dough in a Warm Environment: After kneading, allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.
  • Punch Down the Dough: After the first rise, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and redistribute the yeast. This helps ensure an even rise and texture in your rolls.
  • Shape the Rolls Uniformly: When shaping the rolls, aim for uniform size and shape to ensure even baking. You can use a kitchen scale to portion the dough for consistency.
  • Give Rolls Enough Space to Rise: Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them to expand during the second rise and baking.
  • Brush with Butter Before and After Baking: Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking adds flavor and helps them achieve that signature golden brown crust. Brush them again with butter immediately after baking for extra flavor and shine.
  • Serve Warm: Copycat Texas Roadhouse rolls are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. Serve them with melted butter or honey cinnamon butter for a delicious treat.

FAQs about Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Yes, you can make Texas Roadhouse rolls without a stand mixer. While a stand mixer can make the process easier, you can also knead the dough by hand. It may require a bit more effort, but the results can be just as delicious.

Yes, you can make Copycat Texas Roadhouse rolls ahead of time. You can prepare the dough, shape the rolls, and then refrigerate them overnight. When you’re ready to bake, simply let the rolls come to room temperature and proceed with the baking instructions. Alternatively, you can freeze the shaped rolls for longer storage and bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Store leftover Texas Roadhouse rolls in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze the rolls for longer storage. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.

Yes, you can make gluten-free Texas Roadhouse rolls by using a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour. However, keep in mind that the texture and taste may differ slightly from the original recipe. It’s also important to ensure that all other ingredients, such as yeast and milk, are gluten-free.

Several factors can affect the rising of your rolls, including expired yeast, improper kneading, or insufficient proofing time. Make sure your yeast is fresh and active, knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, and allow enough time for the dough to rise in a warm environment. Additionally, avoid overproofing, as this can cause the rolls to collapse during baking.

While sugar is traditionally used in Texas Roadhouse rolls to add sweetness and help activate the yeast, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use alternatives such as honey or maple syrup. However, keep in mind that omitting sugar entirely may affect the flavor and texture of the rolls.

Yes, you can make Texas Roadhouse rolls with whole wheat flour, but keep in mind that the texture and flavor may be slightly different from rolls made with all-purpose flour. You may need to adjust the liquid content slightly to achieve the desired dough consistency.

Yes, you can make Texas Roadhouse rolls without eggs by either using a commercial egg replacer or simply omitting the egg from the recipe. The rolls may be slightly less rich and tender without eggs, but they will still be delicious.

Yes, you can make Texas Roadhouse rolls in a bread machine by following your bread machine’s instructions for making dough. Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough, shape it into rolls, and proceed with the baking instructions outlined in the recipe.
