A quick and easy recipe to make soft, buttery Texas Roadhouse-style rolls at home in about 30 minutes, using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 440g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (one packet)
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (240ml, about 110°F/43°C)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (56g), melted, plus extra for brushing
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Warm your milk: Heat 1 cup (240ml) of whole milk until warm (around 110°F/43°C). Set aside 1 tablespoon of the melted butter for later.
  2. Activate the yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar (¼ cup/50g), and instant yeast (2 ¼ tsp). Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the wet ingredients: Beat in 2 large eggs (room temperature), melted butter (3 tbsp), and salt (1 tsp). Mix until combined.
  4. Incorporate the flour: Gradually add 3 ½ cups (440g) of all-purpose flour, one cup at a time. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough: Knead by hand on a floured surface or with a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  7. Shape the rolls: Punch down the dough gently. Divide into 12 equal pieces (about 2.5 oz or 70g each). Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. Second rise: Arrange dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rise for another 20 minutes until puffy.
  9. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 15-18 minutes until golden and hollow sounding when tapped.
  10. Butter finish: Immediately brush warm rolls with the reserved melted butter for a shiny, soft crust.

Notes

Do not over-flour the dough to keep rolls tender. Use properly warmed milk to activate yeast without killing it. Let dough rise fully for best texture. Brush rolls with melted butter immediately after baking for authentic softness and shine. Oven temperatures vary, so watch rolls closely near the end of baking.
