These Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls are soft buttery homemade yeast rolls cut into the signature square shape and brushed with melted butter — just $0.18 each and so close to the real thing my husband cannot tell the difference.
In a stand mixer, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes until the yeast dissolves.
Add milk, melted butter, sugar, egg, and salt to the mixer. Mix using the dough hook for about 1 minute until combined.
Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft dough forms. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about ½ inch thick.
Cut into 20–24 squares using a pizza cutter.
Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray and place the dough squares at least 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until doubled.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until light golden brown.
Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter, let cool slightly, and serve.
