TEXAS ROADHOUSE ROLLS WITH CINNAMON-HONEY BUTTER RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Combine yeast and lukewarm water in the bowl of your stand mixer and let stand for 10 minutes (until yeast starts to foam and bubble). Add the milk, melted butter and sugar to the yeast mixture and give it a good stir (using the paddle attachment). Add 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of flour to make a medium batter. (You're looking for a pancake-like consistency.) Next, add the egg and salt and incorporate well. Switch to the dough hook and with the mixer running on medium speed, add remaining flour. Continue mixing for 5 minutes or until dough is smooth. Sprinkle some flour onto the counter and place dough on top. NOTE: I have a silicone baking mat, and didn't find adding flour to be necessary. Let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grease another bowl with oil. Lift up the dough, and stretch it into a large ball, then place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour. Notes: If you don't own a stand mixer, I have a Danish Dough Hook that works great. Mix the dough to the pancake batter stage, then start kneading in the rest of the dough. Frankly, because I love to bake bread, I cannot imagine not owning a stand mixer! My oven was in use, so I covered the bowl with a shower cap (great trick) and set it on top of my stove. In one hour, my dough had doubled! Or, turn your oven on to WARM for 1 minute and turn it off. This will accelerate the proofing of the dough as well. Remove the dough, from the bowl, and punch dough down. Place dough on floured surface and roll out into a square about 1/2 inch thick. (You could do this by hand, but I got a more even rectangular shape.) Using a pizza cutter**, cut dough into desired shapes. Place dough squares onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (or two, depending on how many rolls you end up with). Note: I recently purchases a pizza blade, through Amazon. I absolutely love this tool, because it's perfect for cutting bar cookies or rolls. Cover with a towel and let rise again until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes. (Mine was doubled in 30 minutes) Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately baste with melted butter. Serve dinner rolls warm with the cinnamon-honey butter. You will love it!

CINNAMON ROLLS, TEXAS STYLE

Steps:

• Dissolve Yeast in 1 cup of warm water, set aside.
• Combine 3 cups warm water, sugar, salt. Stir to dissolve.
• Add yeast, eggs, shortening, extract and 6 cups of flour. Mix well.
• With dough hook, mix in remaining flour.
• Knead well and form a ball. Place dough in a well greased bowl. Cover, let rise 1 hour or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
• Form in to a rectangle about 1/2" thick. (about 1 foot wide by 3 feet long).
• Mix filling by hand and spread on the dough. (Cold butter works better, as a melted, thinner filling is harder to keep in while slicing).
• Leave one of the long edges clear of filling.
• Roll the dough jellyroll style toward the edge without the filling.
• With a very sharp knife or a string, cut into 1" thick rolls.
• Place rolls on well greased cookie sheets leaving some space between the rolls.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Let the rolls rise for a half hour of so, not more than double in size.
• Place in oven, one sheet at a time, for 15-20 min or until golden brown.
• Make the frosting by combining ingredients and mixing well. Add powdered sugar to taste, I prefer more of a cream cheese flavor so I use 3/4-1lb. The coffee adds a very subtle flavor that really sets these rolls apart. If you are opposed to coffee, a strong hot chocolate would be a great substitute.

TEXAS CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Sift flour before measuring. Add sugar, baking powder and salt and sift again into a large mixing bowl. Cut shortening into dry ingredients.
• In a small bowl, mix together egg and milk, then add mixture, a small amount at a time, to flour/shortening mix. Handle lightly.
• When dough is formed, roll out on floured board to 1/8 inch thickness.
• Spread dough with 1 tbsp of the softened butter, sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the brown sugar and the 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Roll tightly, beginning at the edge nearest you. Cut into 2-inch slices.
• Cream together the remaining 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Spread onto the bottom of a heavy baking pan that will hold the slices fairly close together.
• Place slices into the pan and bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes.
• Because this recipes does not have a topping, you can make you own. I make one by mixing melted butter with powdered sugar. Sometimes I add raisins and/or chopped nuts.
