INSTRUCTIONS:
1st Step
In a small basin, combine the yeast and tepid water. Allow it to rest for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy. This indicates the yeast is alive and well.
2nd Step
Warm the whole milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it registers approximately 110°F (45°C). Be wary of overheating.
3rd Step
Combine the activated yeast mixture, tepid milk, sugar, and 3 cups of flour in a large mixing basin. Blend until a batter is formed.
4th Step
Mix in the egg, salt, and butter that has been softened in the microwave. Continue to incorporate until thoroughly blended.
5th Step
Add the remaining cup of flour gradually while kneading the dough until it is smooth and slightly glutinous. This ought to take between 5 and 7 minutes.
6th Step
Place the dough in a greased basin, cover it with a clean dish towel, and allow it to rise in a warm location for approximately one hour, or until it has doubled in size.
7th Step
Prepare the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). The dough is punched down and divided into 20 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball and position them on a baking sheet greased with cooking spray, leaving space between them.
8th Step
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise for an additional half-hour. Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, or until golden brown.
9th Step
Brush the rolls with softened butter while they are still heated to give them that signature Texas Roadhouse sheen.
10th Step
Combine butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon powder in a basin. Mix until thoroughly combined. Warm the rolls and spread them generously with honey cinnamon butter.
