Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls with Honey Cinnamon Butter

         This is only an imitation, it is not the actual recipe, just a very good copycat!  We can’t wait to sink our teeth into these when we go out to eat, now you can make them anytime you want! These are super soft rolls, brushed with butter when they are done baking and served with cinnamon honey butter. Oh, so good!

            These rolls include yeast. It can be somewhat intimidating to make yeast products. I have included a few tips that will help you. Soon, you will be a professional working with yeast. Yeast needs a sugar and warm liquid in order to activate.

However, there is a product that you do not have to ‘feed’ to let it grow. Active yeast is one that you can just add in with your other ingredients. Do not use a packet of yeast if it is past the expiration date. The yeast will not perform and raise the dough.

            You do not need to wait until you are grilling steaks to enjoy these rolls. These would be a great addition to serve with spicy foods, the sweetness mellows out the heat just enough. They could be served with any type of cuisine and be the perfect treat to a great mea.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Do I need to use a biscuit cutter?

No, you can roll the dough out and cut it into squares. You could also pull chunks of dough and place it on the baking tray. Just be sure to make all pieces roughly the same size for even baking.

            Do I brush the tops with butter before I bake them?

No, wait until they are completely done baking. I generally allow them to cool slightly before I brush butter on.

            Could I add chives into the dough?

I have never done so. I do not imagine that chives would alter the dough at all. Chives would definitely add to the flavor.
