How to make Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Dough
Get started by microwaving the milk for 30 seconds until it’s lukewarm.
Next, in the bowl of an electric mixer, add the warm milk, sugar, and yeast, stir lightly and then set it aside until the yeast is foamy.
After that add the eggs, melted butter, and kosher salt to the yeast mixture and mix again until just combined.
Continue to add the flour in 2-3 batches and beat on low speed until the dough comes together.
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth.
Rise
Now oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover it with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour, until it has doubled in size.
Shape
Get two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, set them beside your workstation. Then grab the dough and return it to a floured surface and roll it into a 1″-thick rectangle. Proceed to cut the dough into 24 squares.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheets about ½ an inch apart, cover them with a towel, and let them rise for another hour.
Bake
Now it’s time to get the oven preheating to 375°F. In a small bowl melt 4 tablespoons of butter and brush half over the top of each roll.
Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden. Let them cool about 2-3 minutes, then brush the hot rolls with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cinnamon Honey Butter
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the powdered sugar, honey, salt, cinnamon, and butter until well combined. Serve alongside the hot rolls & enjoy!

Texas Roadhouse rolls typically contain gluten from the flour, dairy from the milk and butter, and eggs. Individuals with allergies to these ingredients should avoid this recipe or make substitutions as needed.
What is the best way to soften butter?
The best way to soften butter is to leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For quicker results, it can be cut into small pieces or grated, which speeds up the softening process.

I have not made this recipe yet. I am questioning the amount of salt. 4 teaspoons seems like a lot?
Jessica says
4 tsp KOSHER salt… if you want to use regular salt, decrease it to 2 tsp, which is appropriate for a roll recipe with 6+ cups flour.
Ulysses says
How do I suppose to weigh them “Far as measured them?”
