These rolls are decadent from start to finish: There’s butter in the dough, melted butter brushed on top, and the classic cinnamon-honey butter served on the side. Just like at Texas Roadhouse, these rolls are best served straight out of the oven. But if you need to make these ahead of time, wrap the finished rolls in foil and plastic wrap, then store them in the freezer for up to 1 month. After thawing at room temperature overnight, you can reheat these rolls in the foil for about 10 minutes.

Today I was really just craving something warm, tender, and comforting straight from the oven. It’s not too often that I get a craving for baking but when I do magical things happen, like this copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls recipe. I can tell you is that these are some of the best rolls I’ve ever eaten. Smothered with honey cinnamon butter, these rolls are absolutely to die for.

What Are Texas Roadhouse Rolls?
At some restaurants the bread is nearly as good as the main event, I’m looking at you Red Lobster Biscuits. This is the case for Texas Roadhouse and lucky for you I’ve got a recipe that replicates these little snacks to a tee! A little sweet, a little buttery, and best served warm, these rolls will be your new dinner table staple. But we all know if all about the honey cinnamon butter, so this recipe comes complete with all that butter!
Guys, I’m not a baker by a long shot. So if I can nail down these rolls, you have an amazing shot of doing the same. I’ve been making these rolls for years, it’s the only time you’ll see me with a rolling pin.

The ingredients that you need are incredibly simple, and you can even use a bread maker for these!
Subbing Instant/Rapid Rise Yeast for Active Dry
Cooks Illustrated recommends using 25% less yeast if using Instant instead of Active Dry.
In this recipe, that equates to 1 + 3/4 teaspoons.
Combine the yeast with the flour instead of adding it to the warm milk.
Proceed as outlined, no need to let the milk stand for 5 minutes after combining it with the honey.
Measuring The Flour
Be sure to scoop your flour out with a spoon and level it out at the top. Don’t dip the cup right into the flour or you’ll measure out too much, which will make your rolls dense.
Alternatively, you can weigh the flour. 1 cup of all-purpose or bread flour weighs 120 grams. So 4 cups = 480 grams, be sure to subtract the measuring cup from the weight.
Make Ahead Method
Method 1: Prepare dough and refrigerate overnight

Prepare rolls, let them rise twice, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight until ready to bake. The bake as outlined.
Method 2: Bake and Reheat

Bake for no more than 12 minutes, before the tops start to brown too much.
Don’t top them with the melted butter yet. Let them come to room temperature and store them in an airtight container.
When ready to serve, bake for a few minutes at 350°, until the tops are golden brown.
Top with melted butter and serve!
Method 3: Freeze Unbaked Rolls

Freeze unbaked rolls for up to 1 month, (no longer than that). Arrange on a baking sheet and cover them. Let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake as instructed.
Can You Use a Bread Machine?
Yes. Scald the milk first and let it reduce to lukewarm. Then add the ingredients to a bread machine in the order listed in the recipe card and select the dough setting.
Once complete, Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and drop the dough inside. Cover the bowl (plastic wrap or a damp cloth works) and let it rise for an hour in a warm place.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a flat, floured surface until it’s about ½ inch thick. Fold it in half and gently seal.
From there, proceed with rolling and cutting the rolls. Place them on baking sheets, cover, and let them rise until doubled in size.
Bake and brush with honey butter.
