These fluffy Texas Roadhouse butter rolls are soft, buttery, and perfect for cozy dinners. Made with simple ingredients and a touch of honey, they deliver a tender crumb and a mouthwatering buttery glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm whole milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 ¼ tsp (one packet) active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted (half for dough, half for brushing)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast (10 minutes): Stir active dry yeast into warm milk (about 110°F/43°C) with a pinch of sugar. Wait until frothy and bubbly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients (5 minutes): Add melted butter, sugar, honey, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk gently until combined.
  3. Add flour and knead (10 minutes): Gradually add flour, stirring until dough forms. Knead by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour if sticky but not too much.
  4. First rise (1 hour): Shape dough into a ball, place in lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls (10 minutes): Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces (~2 oz each), and roll each into a smooth ball.
  6. Second rise (30-40 minutes): Place dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheet or greased round pan, spaced apart. Cover and let rise until puffy and nearly doubled.
  7. Bake (15-18 minutes): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls until golden brown on top.
  8. Butter glaze (immediate): Brush warm rolls generously with melted butter right after baking.
  9. Cool & serve (10 minutes): Let rolls rest before serving. Best served warm but also delicious at room temperature.

Notes

Use milk at about 110°F to activate yeast properly. Avoid over-flouring dough to keep rolls soft. Brush butter immediately after baking for best shine and moisture. Avoid overbaking to keep rolls tender. For dairy-free, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives. For gluten-free, use a suitable gluten-free flour blend but expect texture changes.
