Easy Texas Roadhouse Rolls Copycat Recipe
If you've ever eaten at Texas Roadhouse, then you know how delicious their rolls are.
But what if you don't live near a restaurant, and want to enjoy those rolls at home? You're in luck!
Today I'm going to show you how to make easy copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls.
The best part about these Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls? You can adapt the recipe depending on what type of bun or shape you want to create!
I did basic round ones because that’s just how I roll, but if all else fails – no problem. You can make them into knots, round, square, triangle, or whatever shape you like.
And if you really want to feel like you are at Texas Roadhouse, try the Ribeye Steak in air fryer with it.
They're going to taste the same no matter what shape they are in.
They're so good, nobody will be able to tell the difference. And coming up after this, we have the Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter recipe!

Texas Roadhouse Rolls Ingredients
- Water, room temperature
- Dry yeast or bread machine yeast
- Butter, softened
- Egg
- Bread flour (may substitute all-purpose flour)
- Sugar
- Salt
- Salted butter, melted, for brushing
- For exact amounts, please see the recipe card below.
Why Isn't My Dough Rising
To start, you need to make sure that both the dough and yeast are at room temperature. If they're too cold then it could cause problems for your rising time!
It’s a perfect time for baking with the warm summer weather just around the corner. But what about when you need your bread or pizza dough to rise?
It turns out that winter is not so great after all--especially if it's cold outside and there are few opportunities for indoor warmth!
Proofing your yeast is an important process that will ensure the success of any baking project. The water should be between 105 and 115ºF for optimal rising power.
The life span of yeast is very specific and should be followed carefully. If you use it past its “best-by date”, there will not likely be any rise at all from your bread or cakes with this ingredient!
First things first: make sure to always check when purchasing new packs because some stores carry expired products.
In addition to the four ingredients usually found in yeast bread, there's one more: salt.
But too much can keep your starter from working properly and foiling all of those delicious baked goods you've been making!
Measure carefully! The same goes for sugar.
Sugar absorbs liquid in the same way that yeast needs it for growth and development.
So if there isn't enough hydration present (the amount of water) to begin with then you'll end up with an ineffective risen product due primarily to too much sugar usage instead!
How to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls Copycat Recipe
In a small bowl, mix together your water and yeast. Allow it to proof for five minutes.
In a large bowl add your butter, egg, flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Once your yeast is done proofing, add that in. Mix again.
Transfer your dough to a lightly floured flat surface.
Using a dough hook, or your hands, need for about five minutes until your dough ball is round and soft.
Cut your dough ball into 16 sections. Roll into small balls and set aside. If you want the traditional square Texas Roadhouse rolls, then roll out your dough into a rectangle and cut it into square pieces with a pizza cutter or knife.
Pinch the bottom of your roll to make your role stay together (see process picture).
Allow your rolls to sit and rise for an additional 30 minutes. Cover with a clean dishtowel.
While your rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F.
Transfer your rolls (pinch side down) to a greased cookie sheet. You may need one large cookie sheet or two small cookie sheets.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once out of the oven, brush with your melted honey butter.

Hi, this recipe says it only requires 1/4 cups of bread flour. Is that correct? It does not seem right. Thank you.
Mary
Oh my goodness. No. It's 3 1/4 cups of flour. Not sure what happened to the 3 but thank you for calling this to my attention.

Mary I am going to be making these for Thanksgiving dinner. Can I get it all prepared and make my little round doughballs and freeze them till I need to cook them on Thanksgiving?
Mary
Yes, I don't see why not. I have not tried it but I have frozen other dough before and they turned out just fine.
