Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon Honey Butter

Submitted By Pamela Ann Gatlin Schulz
Ingredients:

Roll dough:
2 tsp active dry yeast plus 1 tsp sugar
¼ cup warm water
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp melted butter
¼ cup sugar
3-4 cups flour
1 egg
1 tsp salt

Cinnamon Honey Butter:
½ cup butter
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup honey
1 tsp cinnamon

Add yeast and 1 tsp sugar to the warm water. Set
aside. Place milk in microwave for 45 seconds. Add
butter to milk and stir in until butter is completely
melted. Check the temp of the milk. It should be
lukewarm. If not then allow to cool until lukewarm.
Once yeast has doubled in volume, add yeast
mixture to milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add the sugar and enough flour (about half) and mix
until it reaches the consistency of a muffin batter.
Let rest for 10 minutes. Add egg and salt to the
mixture. Beat well. Add enough remaining flour to
make flour to form soft dough. Knead dough in
mixer with dough hook until smooth and satiny.
Cover and let rise in a warm area until doubled in
size. Once doubled in size punch and let rest for 10
minutes. Press roll of dough on a lightly-floured
surface. Shape into a long rectangle. Cut the
rectangle in half using a pizza cutter and then cut
each half into 6 pieces. Place on greased baking
sheets and let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 F for
10-15 minutes until golden brown. Makes 1 dozen.
To make the butter: Beat butter with hand mixer
until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and
beat with mixer until well-blended. Serve on warm rolls.
