##How to Make Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls
The essence of Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls is simplicity.
##Ingredients
1. 4 cups all-purpose flour
2. 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3. 1 cup milk
4. 1/4 cup sugar
5. 3 tbsp melted butter, divided
6. 1 large egg
7. 1 tsp salt
##Directions
1. Start off by preparing the dough. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes till it becomes frothy.
2. Mix sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually, stir in the flour till a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes. The goal here is to achieve smooth and elastic dough.
4. Let the dough rise. Place it in a greased bowl. Cover it and let it rise in a warm place for an hour till it doubles in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into 12 squares or circles.
6. Let the shaped rolls rise again. Arrange on a greased baking sheet. After being covered, let them rise for 30 minutes before you bake them.
7. Bake the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown.
8. Brush the hot rolls with the remaining melted butter.

##Tips to Make Texas Roadhouse’s Rolls
Ensure that the milk is at the right temperature (between 105°F – 115°F) to help the yeast work best in the recipe.
##Variations
For a sweeter take, try adding a dash of honey to your dough mix. You can also add herbs like rosemary to your melted butter for an extra flavor boost.
##FAQs
1. Can I freeze the dough? Yes, you can freeze the dough. After the first rise, shape the dough and freeze it in a single layer before baking.
2. What can I do if I don’t have a warm place for the dough to rise? Preheat your oven to 200°F, then turn off the heat and place your dough inside to rise.
3. What if I don’t have a stand mixer? You can certainly make the dough by hand. It just requires a bit more kneading.
