How to Make Texas Roadhouse Copycat Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided into 3 cups and 1 1/2 cups
1 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast, rapid rise
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups warm milk, 110°F
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons butter, melted (for the top of the finished rolls)

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add warm milk, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased baking pan.
Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Brush melted butter over the top of the rolls.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm.

Don’t skip the second rise; it helps the rolls become light and fluffy.

Variation

You can add herbs, cheese, or garlic for a different flavor in your rolls. Try mixing in some cheddar cheese for cheesy rolls, or add garlic powder for garlic dinner rolls.

FAQs

Q: Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
A: Yes, but you will need to activate it first in warm water with a bit of sugar.

Q: How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the dough and let it rise, then shape it into rolls. Place them in the fridge overnight and bake them in the morning.

Q: What if my dough doesn’t rise?
A: Ensure your yeast is fresh and that the dough is placed in a warm, draft-free area to rise properly.
