Anyone who knows me decently well knows about my love affair with bread and butttaaaa. My friends learned this during the (billions) of weddings we went to last year. When we get to that reception, my eyes dart RIGHT to the tabletops. Not to admire the centerpieces, or to check out the color scheme, or to see where we are sitting… but to see if there is butter on the table. (I know. What a fatty.) But if there is butter, there is a 99% chance that there will be rolls. And rolls, make me happier than they should. (Clearly.) These Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls are NO exception either. They’re so soft, sweet, and topped with butter. (dahhh )
These are easy to make too, the only hard part is waiting for the dough to rise a couple times. Waiting is boring. I decided to watch Sister Act II while the bread rose- and I can’t believe I just admitted that. Am I the only one who thinks that movie is awesome? If anyone else can come forward with the same confession, you’d make my DAY.
The Copycat Texas Roadhouse honey butter is really easy to whip up too- and it goes perfectly with these rolls. And although the recipes makes 24 rolls, they last like… 2 days in our house. My husband pops them in like popcorn, and we already went over my bread and butter issues, so.
I did manage to give a few to my friend though- she’s preggers. I told her that they were buns for her oven. (God I’m funny.)
INGREDIENTS
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 C. warm milk
1 1/2 T melted butter
1/4 C. plus 1 tsp. sugar
3-4 C. all purpose flour
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
I used my bread machine dough setting to make this.
Combine water, yeast and 1 tsp. sugar and let sit till foamy, about 7 minutes. Add in warm milk, melted butter, 1 beaten egg, sugar, salt and then flour. I ended up using about 3 1/2 C. flour. Once dough setting is complete, remove and knead a few more times on a floured surface. Pinch off gold ball size pieces and flatten just a touch and place on greased cookie sheet. Allow to rise another hour and then bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
