- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

How to Serve Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Serve these rolls warm right from the oven. Slice them open and spread a generous amount of Cinnamon Honey Butter on top. They are great as a side for soups, salads, or any main dish.
How to Store Texas Roadhouse Rolls
To store leftover rolls, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They’ll last for about a month in the freezer.
Tips to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls
- Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, to ensure the yeast activates properly.
- Knead the dough well to develop the gluten, which helps the rolls rise nicely.
- If your kitchen is cool, you can let the rolls rise in the oven with the light on to create a warm environment.
Variation
You can add herbs or garlic to the dough for a flavored version of these rolls. Cheese also works well if you want to add a delicious twist!
FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the rolls may be denser. You might want to mix it with all-purpose flour for a lighter texture.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the dough, let it rise, and then refrigerate it overnight. Just allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
3. How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick to check for doneness—it should come out clean.
