Texas Roadhouse Rolls

*Amended on February 23, 2014 - after making these multiple times I have some changes to make to the recipe and believe me, totally worth it and they are ten times better.  
(All changes to the recipe will be italicized)
Texas Roadhouse...if anyone mentions this restaurant, I guarantee that they will mention their rolls.  And they should, they are epic.  I don't know what they do but they are amazing and no other rolls are as good as theirs.  And the cinnamon honey butter is the other thing that makes them amazing.  I have tried many copycat recipes for their rolls.  They are good, but not even close to the real thing.  I didn't think it was possible to find a recipe that is the actual, real thing.  I have found it.  Of course, it was a Pinterest find, but I worked my magic, and tried them and they are good.  So...I guess I will just say, your welcome and enjoy some very amazing, yummy rolls! :)

Texas Roadhouse Rolls

4 tsp Active Dry Yeast

1 tsp Sugar

½ Cup Warm Water

2 Cup Milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm

3 Tbsp Melted Butter, slightly cooled

½ Cup Sugar

2 quarts All Purpose Flour (7-8 Cups)

2 Eggs

2 tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Honey

Dissolve yeast in warm water with a tsp of sugar; let the yeast do its magic and let it sit until frothy.  Scald your milk while waiting.  Combine yeast mixture, milk, sugar and enough flour to make a medium batter (it has the consistency of pancake batter). Beat thoroughly.  Add melted butter, eggs and salt and honey.  Beat again.  Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto counter and let the dough rest.  Meanwhile, grease a large bowl.  Knead the dough until smooth and satiny and put in the greased bowl.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.  Punch down.  Turn onto floured board.  and let rest 10 minutes.  Roll the dough out to about 1/2" thick.  Then fold over and seal the dough so it is 1" thick.  Cut into rectangles or squares.   Place on a greased baking sheet.  Let rise until doubled.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately smother the rolls with Cinnamon Honey Butter.
