Soft, fluffy, and buttery homemade rolls inspired by Texas Roadhouse, perfect for any occasion and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, warm (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (plus extra melted butter for brushing)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Optional: poppy seeds or sesame seeds for topping
  • Optional: butter for serving

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk (110°F/43°C), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, softened butter, honey, and eggs. Mix until dough starts to come together.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or knead with stand mixer on medium speed for 5-6 minutes. Add flour if dough is too sticky.
  4. First rise: Shape dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the rolls: Punch down dough, divide into 12 equal pieces (~2 oz/55g each), roll into smooth balls, and place close but not touching in a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Second rise: Cover rolls loosely and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  8. Butter them up: Remove rolls from oven and immediately brush generously with melted butter.
  9. Cool slightly and serve warm. Rolls are best fresh but can be reheated.

Notes

Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure milk is about 110°F to properly activate yeast. Knead dough until soft and elastic but not sticky. Do not rush rising times for best fluffiness. Brushing rolls with melted butter immediately after baking is essential for shine and flavor. For ultra-soft rolls, place a small oven-safe dish with water in the oven during baking to create steam.
