TEXAS ROADHOUSE ROLLS

Steps:

• Add the yeast, warm water and sugar to the bowl of your mixer and lightly whisk. Let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast dissolves and starts to foam.
• To the bowl of your mixer add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs and salt. Lightly mix everything together, using the dough hook of your mixer, for about 1 minute. Add the flour, 2 or 3 cups at a time, and mix. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.
• Add additional flour as needed and mix until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl. You could use anywhere from 6 to 8 cups, depending on your environment. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
• Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide into 2 portions for shaping. I like to roll out the dough so that it's about 1/2 inch in thickness then cut out the ends to have a perfect rectangle, then cut it out into squares or rectangles. Repeat with remaining dough. You should get about 30 to 35 rolls. Place onto the prepared baking sheets. Let the rolls rise until doubled in size..
• Preheat your oven to 350 F degrees.
• Bake the rolls for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter.
• While the rolls are baking, prepare the cinnamon honey butter by whisking all the ingredients together.
• Serve the rolls with the cinnamon honey butter.

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.

• Sift flour before measuring. Add sugar, baking powder and salt and sift again into a large mixing bowl. Cut shortening into dry ingredients.

• 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.

• 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.
