The key is making sure the dough is light and fluffy before popping them in the air fryer – so let’s dive into exactly how to do it!

How To Make Homemade Texas Roadhouse Rolls In Air Fryer

Step One: Prepare The Yeast Mixture

Start by adding the milk to a large saucepan over low-medium heat, and let the milk cool until it’s warm, about 100-110 degrees F. Mix in the honey and yeast, and let sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast is activated and frothy.

Step Two: Form The Dough

Transfer the yeast mixture to a stand mixer or large bowl, slowly fold the melted butter, egg, and salt, then mix well. Slowly add in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition of flour. Mix at medium speed until a dough has formed.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step Three: Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step Four: Assemble The Rolls

Punch the dough down and lightly sprinkle flour over the kitchen counter or cutting board. Divide the dough into two portions. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until the dough is about 1/2 inch thick.

Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into equal-sized squares or rectangles.

Step Five Air Fry

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (190°C). Brush the rolls with melted butter and let them rise for 10-15 minutes. Place the rolls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.

Step Six: Serving

While the rolls cook, prepare the glaze by mixing the honey, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. In another small bowl, mix the whipped butter and cinnamon. When the rolls are done, remove them from the air fryer and brush them with the glaze. Serve the rolls warm with a side of whipped cinnamon butter.

Pro Tips For Cooking Homemade Texas Roadhouse Rolls In Air Fryer

Here are some pro tips to ensure your homemade Texas Roadhouse Rolls turn out perfectly in the air fryer:

  • Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature of the milk before adding the yeast. It should be warm (around 110°F or 43°C), but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast.
  • When adding the flour to the mixture, start with 3 cups and add more as needed to achieve a smooth, elastic dough that is not too sticky. Adding too much flour can result in tough, dry rolls.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area like a turned-off oven for best results. Cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap to keep it moist.
  • Be sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the rolls. This ensures that the rolls cook evenly and have a crisp exterior.
  • Leave space between the rolls in the air fryer basket to allow for even cooking and browning.
  • Keep an eye on the rolls while they cook, as cooking times can vary depending on the size and thickness of the rolls. Adjust the cooking time to ensure they are cooked through and golden brown.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before and after cooking for added flavor and moisture.
  • Serve the rolls warm with whipped cinnamon butter, a signature element of the Texas Roadhouse experience.
