Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe 

If you are like me, you may have very little self-control when it comes to rolls. These Texas Roadhouse Rolls are no exception.

These CopyCat Texas Roadhouse Rolls are PERFECT, sweet and fluffy… My family ate the whole batch in one sitting.

If you have never had Texas Roadhouse Rolls, you are doing yourself a disservice. They are wonderfully pillow-like, buttery, sweet dinner rolls.

They are, in fact, the only reason I dine out at Texas Roadhouse. Well, that and the Whipped Cinnamon Honey Butter they serve them with. Now you can make both at home!

I have made Texas Roadhouse Rolls several times, but I’m always so excited to chow down that I have failed to take photos. I always kick myself because I want to share them with you.

This was probably just an excuse to get that first bite, but what can you do? This time, I was able to snap a few pictures.

Bread can be intimidating to make at home, but rest assured, they are much easier than they seem. Even more so if you have a stand mixer because it can do most of the kneading for you.

Why scald milk?  The whey aka protein in milk can weaken gluten (the chewy part) and prevent the dough from rising properly.  Scalding the milk deactivates the protein so this doesn’t happen.

Scalding the milk also intensifies the overall flavor of the bread.  Skipping this step could result in your bread not rising properly or not achieving the proper flavor.

Keep that tidbit of information in your pocket for your next trivia night!

Texas Roadhouse Rolls freeze well so you can save them for later. They aren’t just perfect for the dinner table either. They make breakfast bread and sandwich bread for lunch.

Looking for a rich dessert? Look nor further. Heat them up and top with butter and honey. *Swoon*
