Fluffy Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe

This recipe yields soft and warm rolls that are perfect for serving alongside your favorite dishes. The preparation takes about 2 hours, including rising time, and makes approximately 12 rolls.

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (110°F to 115°F)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients: Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in 3 1/2 cups of flour until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased baking dish.
Second Rise: Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake: Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
