Texas Roadhouse is a carb heaven. It's easy to go through one basket of rolls, then another, and, most likely, another. The reason Texas Roadhouse rolls are so delicious? They're actually baked in-house every five minutes, so you're always getting freshly-baked bread. But did you know that you could also make them at home? TikToker @dasliderguy (aka The Slider Guy) shared how they make copycat Texas Roadhouse rolls at home, and if you put the tips they offer to good use, you'll be able to have your own endless supply of rolls right in your kitchen.

You won't need much for your recipe — some yeast (the TikToker uses instant yeast instead of active dry yeast), flour (an important note: they clarify in the caption that the on-screen flour measurement of 2½ cups is incorrect; you'll actually need 3½ cups for four large rolls), sugar, milk, butter, an egg, and some salt. You'll spend some time kneading the ingredients (or you can use a KitchenAid mixer with a dough hook, if you have one). Then, let your dough rise, shape the rolls, let them rise again, and finally pop them into the oven. In a few minutes, your kitchen will be filled with the oh-so-sweet scent of baking rolls. The recipe is straightforward, but there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind as you bake.

Ready to make Texas Roadhouse-style rolls at home? While the recipe in the video includes sugar, you may want to consider using a copycat Texas Roadhouse roll recipe that includes honey to keep the flavor in-theme with the honey cinnamon butter spread that's typically served with them. On that same note, you can also add some cinnamon to the dough itself to mimic the flavor of the to-die-for butter.

The Slider Guy mentions setting the bowl of proofing dough on top of your preheated oven — this can help you get the light, airy lift you want. The inside of a turned-off oven (but recently heated — by the power of your oven's lightbulb, actually) is also one of the best places to proof bread in your kitchen, as you want to find a spot with a temperature between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit to let the yeast work its magic.

Once you've got your perfectly fluffy Texas Roadhouse-style rolls, you'll want to top them off with butter similar to the oh-so-good stuff you get at the restaurant. You can whip up some honey butter on your own, or pick up a tub of the good stuff at the store (Walmart sells Texas Roadhouse's honey cinnamon whipped buttery spread). Whether you enjoy these freshly baked rolls on their own or plate them up alongside dinner, it's nice to know that you can always have Texas Roadhouse-style rolls at the ready with just a little bit of work in the kitchen.
