Who else is like me and goes to Texas Roadhouse, eats all the rolls, and ends up taking their dinner home in a takeout box? Happens every time! I can’t resist those buttery, soft rolls especially when paired with cinnamon honey butter.

I love them so much I came up with a copycat recipe to make at home. Now you don’t have to go out to get your fix – you can make these melt-in-your-mouth dinner rolls at home. They are so good and great for holidays, special dinners, or whenever you get a craving!

• How To Make Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls

  1. Place the yeast and warm water into a bowl or container, stir once and let rest.
  2. Add the milk and buttermilk to a microwave safe container, and heat until warmed. It is okay if the buttermilk separates at this point, it will not affect the recipe.
  3. Stir 2 tbsp. Softened butter into the milk and buttermilk mixture until melted.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk mixture, yeast, granulated sugar, salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat on high with a dough hook until combined well and smooth.
  5. Add the egg to the bowl, and beat until well incorporated.
  6. Slowly add the remaining flour a little at a time until the dough comes cleanly away from the dough hook attachment in the mixer.
  7. Flour the dough slightly, and turn into a ball in a well greased large mixing bowl.
  8. Cover and let the dough rest to rise for 1 hour.
  9. Place the dough onto a floured surface, and roll it out until it is ½ inch thick.
  10. Cut the dough into 12 even rectangular shapes.
  11. Fold the ends of each rectangle under to form a roll shape, and let sit on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet to rise slightly for 20 minutes.
  12. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  13. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  14. Brush with melted butter on top if desired.
  15. Combine the ingredients for the cinnamon honey butter in a bowl and mix until completely combined.
  16. Serve the warm rolls with the butter.
