Few things are as legendary as Texas Roadhouse Rolls. Warm, pillowy soft, slightly sweet, and brushed with melted butter, these rolls are pure comfort. Fresh from the oven, they pull apart effortlessly and melt in your mouth—especially when paired with that famous cinnamon honey butter. The best part? You can make them right at home, and they taste just like the restaurant version (if not better!).

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls
In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour until doubled.
Roll dough out to about ½-inch thickness. Cut into squares or rectangles.
Place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise again 30–40 minutes.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, just until lightly golden.
Brush immediately with melted butter.
