Warm Milk – Warm the milk in a small saucepan until the temperature reaches 105°F (40°C).
Bloom the Yeast – Pour the warm milk into the bowl of a stand mixer, then add the yeast, granulated sugar, and honey. Let sit for 8-10 minutes, or until the yeast blooms.
Add Egg Butter and Flour – Using the dough hook attachment, mix in the egg, butter, and salt gradually adding the flour. Knead until the dough is tacky, but not sticky.
First Rise – Place the dough into a greased bowl and turn to coat with butter on all sides. Cover the bowl with a damp towel or top loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size.
Roll Dough and Cut into Squares – Gently punch the dough down turn out onto a floured surface rolling into a rectangle, then fold in half lengthwise. Cut the dough crosswise into 16-18 squares.
Second Rise – Arrange the dough squares onto a greased pan, spacing evenly. Let rise until the rolls have doubled in size.
Bake – Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Melt remaining butter and brush the tops lightly. Bake per the recipe until golden brown. Brush again with remaining melted butter mixed with honey.
Serve the rolls warm with the cinnamon butter alongside.

How to Make the BEST Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe

Key ingredients you’ll need to make homemade fluffy Texas Roadhouse Rolls (Copycat): Whole milk, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, honey, unsalted butter, large egg, kosher salt, all purpose flour or bread flour plus additional for dusting, softened butter to grease bowl.
Ingredients to Make the Butter Glaze: Salted butter and honey.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large bowl, medium bowl, small bowl, measuring cups and spoons, stand mixer or hand mixer with a dough hook, pastry brush, sheet pan and pizza wheel or pastry wheel.
Ambient temperature can have an affect on how long it takes for the dough to rise. It could take less time or more time. Adjust accordingly.
It’s important to roll the dough into even thickness prior to cutting into portions for the final rise.
When cutting the dough into portions, it’s equally important to make the rolls similar in size for even baking. These are homemade dinner rolls and won’t be perfectly uniform but they should be very similar in size.
When placing the dough squares onto the baking pan, you can use your hands to shape them prior to rising the second time. Don’t manipulate them after they rise or they could deflate.
Leave enough space on the pan between the rolls for the second rise so they won’t stick together.
You can double the honey butter glaze, if desired, and use more than called for in the recipe. There’s no such thing as too much butter in my kitchen!
