What makes Texas Roadhouse rolls so soft?

The secret lies in the combination of warm milk, butter, and eggs; all of which add richness and moisture. Kneading the dough until smooth and allowing it to rise twice gives the rolls their tender, airy texture. Finishing with a buttery brush right out of the oven keeps the tops perfectly soft.

Can I freeze Texas Roadhouse rolls?

Yes! Once baked and cooled, place the rolls in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight and warm in the oven at 300°F for 10–12 minutes, covered loosely with foil.

How do I reheat leftover rolls?

Wrap the rolls in foil and bake at 300°F for about 8–10 minutes until warmed through. For an extra-soft finish, brush with butter before reheating. Microwave reheating also works in a pinch, just cover with a damp paper towel and heat for 20–30 seconds.

What's in the cinnamon honey butter?

It’s simple and delicious! Just blend softened butter with powdered sugar, a splash of honey, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Whip it until light and fluffy. This sweet spread is what takes your Texas Roadhouse rolls from great to unforgettable.
