Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 cup Milk
• 1 packet Active Dry Yeast
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 3 cups Bread Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 Egg
• �� cup Butter (more for brushing)

For Equipment, you’ll need:

• Mixing Bowls
• Baking Tray
• Kitchen Scale (optional but recommended)

Active Dry Yeast is a crucial part of this recipe as it allows the rolls to rise and become soft & fluffy. Bread Flour adds the elasticity to the dough which results in a chewy texture. Keep all ingredients at room temperature for best results. If you don���t have bread flour, you can use all-purpose flour as a substitute. It may slightly affect the texture but the rolls will still be delicious.

How To Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls

1. Warm the milk slightly, stir in yeast and honey, let it sit until it froths.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in yeast mixture, followed by melted butter and egg. Mix until you have soft dough.
3. Transfer the dough onto a flour-dusted surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into squares.
6. Place them on a baking tray, cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes. Brush with melted butter and bake at 190C/375F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
