Texas Roadhouse Honey Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

The Honey Cinnamon Butter (The Easy Part)

This is what people really want to recreate. The good news is it’s incredibly simple. You just need four ingredients.

Ingredients:

One stick of real butter (room temperature), one-third cup of powdered sugar, two tablespoons of honey, and one-half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. That’s it.

Instructions:

Blend the butter until it’s creamy. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, then add the honey and cinnamon. Beat until it’s light and fluffy. Spread it on warm rolls right away. If you make it ahead, store it in the fridge and let it soften before serving.

The Rolls from Scratch

The rolls themselves follow a standard yeast roll recipe, but the honey is what gives them their distinctive flavor and slight sweetness.

What You Need:

Three cups of all-purpose flour, one packet of instant yeast, one teaspoon of salt, three tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of honey, three tablespoons of butter (melted), one cup of warm milk, and one egg.

The Process:

Mix the warm milk, melted butter, honey, and sugar together. Let it cool slightly, then add the yeast and let it sit for five minutes until it’s foamy. Add the egg, then gradually mix in the flour and salt until you have a soft dough. Knead for about ten minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for an hour until doubled in size. Divide into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Let them proof for 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter while still warm.

Note: This recipe is adapted from the restaurant’s general technique. Exact restaurant recipes are proprietary, but this version captures the spirit of what makes them special. Your results will depend on your oven, altitude, and baking experience.

Questions About Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Are the rolls really baked fresh every 5 minutes?
Yes, this is actually true. Texas Roadhouse has made this part of their operation standard across all locations. Fresh dough is proofed and baked continuously throughout service hours so that every table gets warm rolls. It’s part of their commitment to quality and freshness that sets them apart from typical chain restaurants.
Can I buy the frozen rolls at any grocery store?
The frozen mini rolls are primarily sold at Walmart, though you might find them at other large grocery chains depending on your region. Check the frozen bread section. They come in a 12-pack and include the glaze packet. If your local Walmart doesn’t carry them, ask the bakery section if they can be ordered.
What exactly is in the honey cinnamon butter?
The signature butter is made with butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. That’s the complete ingredient list. The simplicity is part of what makes it so good. There’s no corn syrup, no artificial flavors, and no weird additives. We have the exact recipe above if you want to make it yourself.
Are the rolls really unlimited at the restaurant?
Yes, completely unlimited. When you order any entrée, rolls come with the meal at no extra charge. You can request refills as many times as you want. This is one of the things Texas Roadhouse uses to differentiate itself from competitors. They’re betting you’ll come back for the food, so they’re generous with the bread.
How do the Walmart frozen rolls compare to restaurant rolls?
The frozen rolls from Walmart are good and pretty close to the restaurant experience, but they’re not identical. The restaurant versions are baked several times a day in a commercial oven, and they hit your table within minutes of leaving the oven. The Walmart version requires home baking and doesn’t have quite the same texture and warmth. That said, for $5.99 for a dozen, they’re a solid way to enjoy them at home without the drive.
Can I order rolls for delivery or takeout?
If you order an entrée for delivery or takeout, rolls are included with your meal. For bulk orders (catering), you need to call the restaurant directly or work with their catering department. Frozen rolls from Walmart are also an option if you want to bake them yourself for an event.
