The Secret to Texas Roadhouse Rolls
The secret to these irresistible rolls lies in their simplicity and the quality of ingredients used. Here’s a quick rundown of what you need and how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup scalded milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until it becomes frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the scalded milk, sugar, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix well. Add the yeast mixture and gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and place them on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let them rise again for about 30-40 minutes.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown.
- Cinnamon Butter: While the rolls are baking, whip up the cinnamon butter by combining softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and a dash of cinnamon. Spread this heavenly mixture on the warm rolls and enjoy!
