Key Ingredients for Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls

To make these delightful rolls, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm milk (about 110°F)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 4-5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup melted butter (for brushing)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add the vegetable oil, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
3. Add Flour: Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.
4. Knead Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Shape Rolls: After rising, punch down the dough and roll it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Place them on a greased baking sheet.
7. Second Rise: Cover and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Brush with Butter: As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter.

What to Serve Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls With

These rolls are a versatile side that pairs wonderfully with various dishes. Serve them with creamy soups, hearty pasta, or a juicy steak, and elevate your meal to a new level of deliciousness!

Top Tips for Perfecting Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls

1. Temperature Matters: Ensure your milk is warm but not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast.
2. Flour Moderately: Use enough flour to form a soft dough, but avoid adding too much, which can make the rolls dense.
3. Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add herbs or spices to the dough for a twist!
4. Don’t Rush the Rising Process: Allow the dough ample time to rise for fluffy rolls.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (which is rare with these delicious rolls!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, they can be refrigerated for about a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through, or microwave them for about 10-15 seconds. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but reheating can bring back some of that delightful softness!

There you have it! With this easy, delightful recipe, you’re all set to recreate the magic of Texas Roadhouse right in your own kitchen. Get your apron on and enjoy the warm, buttery embrace of these Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls! Happy baking!
