Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon Butter

Our family, including our beloved Grandma Lorraine, who famously told us that “there’s not much in life that can’t be made better with butter,” has made developing the perfect batch of butter our family legacy. This goal is more than 125 years in the making, a passion passed on from generation to generation, including our children, who make up generation six.
The end result is a line high butterfat butter in multiple, dreamy flavors, from sea salt butter to the garlic herb variety.
You can grab the rolled version of our butter — or the classic sticks you’ll often find on store shelves — from your local market or specialty store, by using our location tool.
So, without further ado, here’s our recipe for Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon Butter:
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS FOR THE ROLLS
4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (2 packets)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup warm water (105-110 degrees F)
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tsp
5 Tbsp butter, divided
8-9 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp kosher salt
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BUTTER
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
Cooking Steps
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROLLS
Pour 2 cups of milk in a sauce pan and heat until it is almost boiling. You will see foam start to form around the edges, it starts to steam, and bubbles are across the surface as well. Remove from the heat and let it cool to 95 degrees F (this takes about 20 minutes).
While the milk is cooling dissolve yeast and 1 tsp of sugar into the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to “bloom” or foam up.
Once the milk has cooled mix together the milk, yeast mixture, 4 Tbsp melted butter, eggs, sugar and 4 cups of flour together in a stand mixer using a dough hook. It should start to form a smooth batter.
Add in 4 more cups of flour and the salt and mix until it forms a stiff dough. If you need additional flour add a little at a time to get it to come together.
Once you have a stiff dough, knead for about 10 minutes, until it is soft and satiny. Place in a well oiled bowl, cover, and place in a warm draft free place to let it double in size. This should take 60-90 minutes depending on the temperature.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a lightly floured surface.
