I used my Instant Pot to proof my roll dough. If you have an Instant Pot with the yogurt setting give it a try.
If not no worries you can proof the dough in a greased bowl on the counter. It just takes about 30 minutes to an hour longer to do the traditional rising of the yeast rolls.Â

How To Make Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Step 1: Start by working on your yeast mixture with the milk. Heat your milk to 105 degrees, and add a little sugar and yeast to allow it to bubble. This takes around 5 minutes.
Step 2: Once you have milk, water, butter, and a little sugar warm pour in the yeast and let sit. It needs to activate. It will bubble up.
Step 3: Now grab your stand mixer with a dough hook and get to mixing. Once the dough is formed I place in the pressure cooker to rise. This takes 30 minutes which shaved off some time.
Step 4: Punch down yeast roll dough and roll out on a floured surface. Cut, bake, butter, and devour.
How To Make Dough Rise
When working with yeast, it needs a warm environment. You will find these two methods are great for getting your dough to rise double in size.
Counter Methods for Dough
Once your dough is mixed up, take your dough ball and place it in a greased bowl.
Cover with a towel and let it sit for an hour. I find a warmer place in the home to let the dough rest.
Instant Pot Method For Dough
I use this method all the time. Simply mix up your dough as directed. Then place your dough ball in the bottom of the pot in your Instant Pot.
Now cover with a glass lid, and turn yogurt setting on. Make sure it is on low yogurt and let rise 30 minutes.
Storage
You can store these dinner rolls on the counter in an airtight container or sealable bag. Make sure that you store the cinnamon butter in the fridge, as it will store best that way.
Freezing Rolls – You can freeze these dinner rolls as well. Just allow to fully cool and then freeze for 3-4 months.
Reheating Rolls – Warm them up in the microwave. Thaw on the counter. Or wrap tightly in aluminum foil and heat in the oven. All methods work great.
Recipe FAQs
That would be plain cruel if I gave you this roll recipe without the famous cinnamon butter! Don’t worry I have the cinnamon butter recipe in the recipe card below.
How to Make Cinnamon Butter
I used my stand mixer and whipped up softened butter with honey, cinnamon, and powdered sugar.
Crazy simple but yet so satisfying on every level. It’s safe to say my son loved the butter more than the rolls I think! This butter is great on any Instant pot roll, biscuit, etc.

Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Ingredients
Roadhouse Rolls
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar + 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 – 4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter for buttering rolls after cooked
Cinnamon Butter
- 1 stick of unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- The first thing you will want to do is take a microwave safe bowl. Add in your milk, water, and dice up your 2 tablespoons of butter and put in the mixture.
- Put in the microwave for 20-30 second increments. You will want to heat the mixture to 100-105 degrees F. Use a thermometer to ensure you reach the right temperature.
- Once your mixture is warm, you will add in 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and your yeast. Sit the yeast mixture on the container, as it needs to rest for 5-10 minutes. Your yeast will begin to bubble, this is a great way to know your yeast is activated.
- Once the yeast bubbles up then pour into your KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Put the dough hook on. Add in your sugar, egg, salt, and then slowly add in your flour. You won’t use all the flour possibly.
- You want to make sure the dough forms a ball and is not sticky to the touch where it comes off on your hand. Add flour a little at a time so you don’t add too much and make your rolls dense.
- Once it is ready layout on a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Then place the dough ball to rise.
- You can rise in a greased bowl on the counter for an hour or until it doubles in size. Or place in a greased Instant Pot with a glass lid. Then turn the yogurt setting on low for 30 minutes.
- Take your risen dough and punch it down and then roll out. Fold the dough in half and slice into lines. Then cut into squares for the rolls.
- Cover and let rise for 15 more minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Bake 8-13 minutes or until the rolls are done. Depending on thickness will depend on how long it takes to cook.
- Then melt the 1 tablespoon of butter and then spread on the cooked rolls with a silicone brush.
- Now you can add all the ingredients for your cinnamon butter in a bowl or stand mixer. Whip it up until creamed and fully mixed.
- Now serve up warm Texas Roadhouse rolls with cinnamon butter for dinner or any other occasion you might be craving them.

For the cinnamon butter do you use Icreamed honey?
Kelsey says
I just used regular honey.
Katie Bartram says
so sad I didn’t realize I didn’t have yogurt button so guess I’ll have to do the old way lol unless you know another way I can do it
Kelsey says
I am not sure if you do a warm setting if it won’t kill the yeast. I would say to be safe do old fashioned way.
Donna says
Are there any way to lower the carb count for these rolls?
Kelsey says
I am not sure if you used an artificial sweetener if it would taste the same or not.
Karen says
How thick do you roll the dough before cutting into squares?
Kelsey says
I did maybe an inch to inch and a half thick
Bllue says
I love this recipe. The ingredients for the Texas Roadhouse rolls don’t vary much from recipe to recipe but this is the ONLY one I”ve seen that doesn’t call for equal volumes of honey, icing sugar and butter. Just in case the cinnamon butter isn’t sweet enough with a smaller amount! I feel cavities developing just looking at it. I’ve deleted the others from my computer.
Kelsey says
I really like how this recipe turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as well! It is my go-to and the rolls freeze great for eating later.
Adam says
