I love the fluffy, soft dinner rolls they serve at Texas Roadhouse restaurant but didn’t want to spend a lot of time making them. I searched around for a recipe that was easy and tasted a lot like the ones at Texas Roadhouse. I tried this one which uses a bread maker for the dough which allows you to load up the bread maker and  come back in a couple of hours, remove the dough and bake it. When served with the cinnamon butter, they taste a lot like the ones they have at the restaurant. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

Rolls

• ¼ cup lukewarm water
• 1 cup lukewarm milk (Vegan option, use plain soy milk)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons melted butter, room temperature (Vegan option, use margarine)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 envelope (.25 oz) active dry yeast
• ¼ cup melted butter for basting rolls

Cinnamon Butter

• 4 tblsp of Butter (Vegan option, use margarine)
• 1 tblsp Sugar
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

Directions

Pour all liquid dinner roll ingredients into the bread maker. Add the dry ingredients (except the yeast) to a bowl and mix then add to the bread maker. Now add the yeast on top of the dry ingredients so it is not in the liquid. Start your bread maker on the dough setting (you can also put on delay setting if you are want it to be ready later). When the dough cycle is complete, remove and roll out on a floured cutting board into a sheet and using a pizza cutter cut into 16 even squares. Put these on a baking sheet. You can use parchment paper on it if you’d like. Then put the baking sheets into a oven with a bowl of hot steaming water to rise until doubled or tripled. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes until slightly browned. To make sure the outside stays soft when putting them into the oven throw 1/4 cup of water in the bottom of the hot oven to add moisture. Coat with butter when removed from the oven and serve.
