Texas Roadhouse Rolls & Honey Butter

I stumbled across this recipe while I was bored one day, and of course I had to try it out. Who doesn't LOVE the sweet rolls at Texas Roadhouse?! I couldn't get mine as fluffy as the restaurant, but they still tasted amazing.

Rolls
1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast plus 1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water (100-110 degrees)
1 cup milk
1Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
4-5 cups flour
1 egg
1 tsp salt

Butter
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
  • Mix yeast with 1 tsp sugar and warm water. Let sit for about five minutes.
  • Microwave milk for about 60 seconds. Add butter and stir until butter is completely melted.
  • Add milk mixture to yeast mixture. Add sugar and about half the flour, the dough should be the consistency of muffin batter. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Add egg and salt to mixture, beat well.
  • Add remaining flour until soft dough is formed.
  • Knead dough until smooth, cover, and let rise until doubled (about one hour).
  • After rising, punch down and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough in to rectangle and cut in to squares using a pizza cutter.
  • Place on floured and greased baking sheets and let rise until doubled (about one hour).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, brush with honey butter.
  • For honey butter, beat butter with hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. Serve on warm rolls.

I didn't put cinnamon in our butter because I prefer it without.
