Texas Roadhouse Rolls- Pinterest Project

I've made these a couple of times before and was very excited to make them again!  I have to agree that they do taste very similar to Texas Roadhouse Rolls; however, they are a little thicker.  These rolls are definitely a favorite of my family when I make them! :)  The entire process can take up to a good three hours.  It matters on how big you make the rolls, but I always vary around 2 dozen.  (This last attempt made 22 rolls)

Supplies:

4 tsp. active dry yeast

1/2 c. warm water

2 c. milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm

3 Tbl. of melted butter, slightly cooled

1/2 c. sugar 

2 quarts all purpose flour (7-8 cups)

2 whole eggs

2 tsp. salt

*Dissolve yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar; let stand until frothy.  

*While letting the yeast mixture stand, combine milk, and 1/2 cup sugar.

*Add in and beat yeast mixture and enough flour to make a medium batter (about the consistency of pancake batter).  

*Add melted butter, eggs and salt.  Beat well.  

*Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  

*Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto counter and knead dough until smooth, 'non-sticky', and satiny

*Put into a greased bowl, turn over to grease top and cover.

*Let it rise in a warm place until double in bulk.  

*Punch down.  

*Turn out onto a floured board and spread out to about 3/4 inch thickness.

*Let rest for 10 minutes.  

*Shape dough into desired forms.  I put them in about 3x3 inch squares.

*Place on greased baking sheets.

*Bake at 350 degrees for around 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Definitely make sure you watch and check on them frequently, because my oven tends to run hotter than most.  I have a bad habit of taking them out too early, but my family doesn't complain (Actually, I think they prefer them that way). 

*Baste immediately after with butter.

And finally, ENJOY.  I recommend Cinnamon Honey Butter along with it! :)
