• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups warm milk, 110°F
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened

6. Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into rolls.
7. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
9. Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Brush the melted butter on top of the rolls before serving.

How to Serve Texas Roadhouse Copycat Dinner Rolls

These rolls are best served warm and fresh from the oven. You can enjoy them with honey butter, jam, or just plain butter. They go perfectly with soups, salads, or any main dish.

How to Store Texas Roadhouse Copycat Dinner Rolls

If you have leftovers (which rarely happens!), let the rolls cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just wrap them tightly and place them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, thaw and warm them in the oven.

Tips to Make Texas Roadhouse Copycat Dinner Rolls

• Make sure your milk is warm, but not too hot. It should feel just warm to the touch.
• Don’t skip the kneading! It helps to develop the dough and gives you soft rolls.
• If your dough isn’t rising well, try placing it in a warm spot, like near your oven or on a sunny windowsill.

Variation

You can add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for a tasty twist! Just mix in about a teaspoon before the first rise.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes, you can use regular yeast, but you’ll need to let it sit in warm water with sugar for about 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients.

2. How do I know when the rolls are fully baked?
The rolls should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Just shape and bake the rolls the next day.

Enjoy these delicious homemade dinner rolls! They’re sure to become a family favorite!
