Why is it that eating bread before any meal is an extra-special treat? Dinner rolls make the perfect pre-meal appetizer or dinner side dish. The Texas Roadhouse is known for its yeast rolls. These are light, fluffy, and they just have the right amount of sweetness to make them nothing short of amazing. And making them at home is easier than you think.

What Makes Texas Roadhouse Rolls Unique
Just like any other basic roll, they have milk, yeast, sugar, flour, an egg, butter, and salt. What makes this different is that the dough is a little sweeter than most rolls. Make sure you use regular white sugar for this recipe – don’t use any sugar substitutes or you will compromise the flavor.

Now you don’t have to wait until you go out to eat to enjoy these amazing rolls. At the bottom of this post is the complete recipe. But first, I’m going to share a few baking tips I learned when I made them.
Notes and Suggestions:
- Use warm milk to make the rolls rich tasting
- I also suggest using saf-instant Gold Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Package. This yeast really helps to improve the flavor of the final result. Regular bread yeast works well, but the gold instant yeast allows the sweet flavors to really peak out and this can really enhance the flavor of these rolls.
- Use your bread machine to stir everything together. The machine will knead the dough and it will rise while in the machine. Then you can remove it and cut it before baking in the oven.
How to Proof the Yeast
Yeast can be stored in the pantry but keep in mind it does have a shelf life. If you want to make sure your yeast lasts longer in between baking, keep it in the refrigerator. This will help but eventually, yeast will lose its intensity. So you will want to proof the yeast before using. Here’s how you do it:
- In a 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees) dissolve one package of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar together.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
- If the mixture foams up, the yeast is active and the mixture can be used.
- If it doesn’t foam, discard it and do not use.
Are Texas Roadhouse Rolls Vegan?
No, these are not vegan. They use milk, butter, and eggs.
How to reheat texas roadhouse Rolls
The best way to reheat the rolls is in the oven. If you use the microwave, the rolls will be heated unevenly and have a softer texture.
Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and place them in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until completely warmed through.

Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Learn how to make Texas Roadhouse Yeast Rolls and honey cinnamon butter with this easy copycat recipe and video. The best soft and sweet dinner rolls!
Roll Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (warm 100 degrees)
- 1 1/8 teaspoon active yeast (or 1 package)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup butter (melted plus 1/4 cup butter, melted (optional) (unsalted is best, salted butter is fine to use))
- 1 teaspoon salt
Honey Cinnamon Butter
- 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Roll directions
- In a cup or small bowl, stir together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Allow the yeast to proof and begin to activate while you prepare the other ingredients. (This is not necessary, but I prefer this to use milk cold out of the refrigerator).
-
Using a stand mixer or food processor, combine the flour, egg, 1/3 cup melted butter, and salt. Add the milk mixture and process until you have a smooth dough; it will be stickier and wetter than regular bread dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turn the dough to grease all sides, and cover with a towel. Let rise until it has doubled in size.
-
When the dough has doubled, punch it down and turn it out on a floured board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
-
Roll out the dough into a large, flat rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 16 portions with a sharp knife and place on a greased baking sheet and let rise again, until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the rolls for 10 minutes on the greased baking sheet. They will be light brown when removed from the oven. If desired you can brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining 1/4 cup melted the butter before serving.
Honey Butter directions
-
Prepare honey cinnamon butter by combining butter, cinnamon, honey, and powdered sugar with a mixer until well blended.
- Use regular white sugar for this recipe – don’t use any sugar substitutes or you will compromise the flavor.
- Use warm milk to make the rolls rich-tasting
- I also suggest using saf-instant Gold Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Package. This yeast really helps to improve the flavor of the final result. Regular bread yeast works well, but the gold instant yeast allows the sweet flavors to really peak out and this can really enhance the flavor of these rolls.
- Use your bread machine to stir everything together. The machine will knead the dough and it will rise while in the machine. Then you can remove it and cut it before baking in the oven.
