These Copycat Texas Roadhouse Dinner Rolls are so soft and the Cinnamon Honey Butter puts them over the top! I use a bread machine to cut the active work down to 10 minutes which includes shaping the rolls. These are simple enough for any dinner but amazing enough for Thanksgiving Dinner! We love them piping hot just like at the Roadhouse but they also hold well leftover which the restaurant ones do not. They might even be better than the ones at the restaurant…
Want to see my family act like savages? Just put a plate of fresh hot Texas Roadhouse Rolls on the table and back away slowly…. We LOVE bread and hot, fresh bread is even better! These are the rolls I’m asked to bring to every holiday and family gathering. I even bake up pans of them in the summer for BBQs.
Whatever you do don’t skip the amazing Texas Roadhouse Butter recipe I’ve included here too. It is phenomenal! I often make it by itself and have even had people just eat it with a spoon!
One little disclaimer… I believe these rolls and the Texas Roadhouse Butter recipe are WAY better than the restaurant. Sorry, we love that place but I’m really good at homemade!
My local taste testers cleaned out about three batches of these puppies this week and wiped out the butter bowl. (I think I saw somebody using a finger and licking it…)
A few fell on the floor and when I went to throw them out a friend asked if she could have them. They really are that good…
How to Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls
These rolls are easy to throw together. You can make the dough in a bread machine to save time and then just form them by hand and bake. I use my bread machine to simplify a lot of my bread making.
Or you can use a more traditional method of kneading by hand (or better yet in your Bosch stand mixer!) I’ve got a few tricks in the recipe to help you get a great rise out of your yeast!
About that Texas Roadhouse Butter Recipe
If you have been to Texas Roadhouse once you probably tossed peanuts on the floor and slathered hot rolls in plenty of their amazing butter! It was darn good right???
Now imagine bringing that recipe concept home and making it with real butter and local honey and high quality cinnamon….. Drooling yet? I am!
I’m pretty comfortable stating that it is the best butter you can eat! This stuff is a staple at our holiday table and I make it plenty often for every day dinners too! It really dresses life up!
I think my Loaded Baked Potato Soup is the perfect dinner with these rolls. Enjoy!

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Dinner Rolls and Cinnamon Honey Butter
Ingredients
The Dough
- 1 cup milk warmed in microwave for 30 seconds
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp. salt
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. quick rise yeast also known as instant yeast
- 4 - 6 Tbsp. salted butter for brushing buns melted
The Amazing Cinnamon Honey Butter
- 1/2 cup of salted butter softened but not at all melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
To Make The Dough
- Place the ingredients in your bread machine in the order given. Set the machine for the dough setting and let it run. (Usually a 90 minute cycle.)
To Form The Rolls
- Spray a 8" x 12.5" rectangular glass pan with cooking spray and set aside. (Any pan where the rolls fit with a bit of space around them is fine.)
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide and shape into 15 rolls as desired. I roll the dough out into a 14"x11" rectangle and cut it into equal squares. I fold each square in half and place in the pan to rise. Alternately rolls can be formed into round balls by tucking the edges of each piece of dough under.
- Place the formed rolls into the glass pan (3 rolls by 5 rolls) leaving some space between each roll. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and cover with plastic wrap.
- Turn the oven on to 350 F for 1 minute. TURN THE OVEN OFF and place the pan of covered rolls inside. Let the rolls rise for 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and preheat to 350 F.
- Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 15-18 minutes in the preheated oven. Rolls are done when they are cooked through and lightly brown on the outside. Remove from the oven and brush again with melted butter. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container.
To Make The Honey Butter
- Use a fork to whip together the soft butter with honey and cinnamon. Serve at room temperature with the hot rolls. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Dinner Rolls and Cinnamon Honey Butter (Without a Bread Machine)
Ingredients
The Dough
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp. quick rise yeast also known as instant yeast
- 1 egg
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 - 6 Tbsp. salted butter for brushing buns melted
The Amazing Cinnamon Honey Butter
- 1/2 cup of salted butter softened but not at all melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
To Make The Dough
- In a large, microwave safe bowl: heat milk, and butter in the microwave for 30-60 seconds just until it is pleasantly warm to your finger.
- Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast. Some lumps of butter may remain.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup of flour and the egg.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups of flour until a dough forms.
- Using a dough hook, knead the dough in a stand mixer for 5 minutes or knead by hand (spray a large wooden board and your hands liberally with canola cooking oil spray. Knead the dough on the greased board for 5 minutes. Set the board aside to use again for rolling the dough out.
- Form the dough into a ball and place in a oiled mixing bowl. Turn dough to coat and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Set the bowl in a warm place until the dough has doubled, about 60 - 90 minutes.
To Form The Rolls
- Spray a 8" x 12.5" rectangular glass pan with cooking spray and set aside. (Any pan where the rolls fit with a bit of space around them is fine.)
- Turn the dough out onto a cutting board sprayed with Pam spray and divide and shape into 15 rolls as desired. I roll the dough out into a 14"x11" rectangle and cut it into equal squares. I fold each square in half and place in the pan to rise. Alternately rolls can be formed into round balls by tucking the edges of each piece of dough under.
- Place the formed rolls into the glass pan (3 rolls by 5 rolls) leaving some space between each roll. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and cover with plastic wrap.
- Turn the oven on to 350 F for 1 minute. TURN THE OVEN OFF and place the pan of covered rolls inside. Let the rolls rise for 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and preheat to 350 F.

- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container.
To Make The Honey Butter
- Use a fork to whip together the soft butter with honey and cinnamon. Serve at room temperature with the hot rolls. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
