Introduction to Keto Texas Roadhouse Rolls Recipe

If you’re on the keto diet, you know that bread is off the table. Most yeast breads are full of carbs and sugar from all-purpose flour. But with my recipe, you can recreate the magic of freshly baked rolls using keto-friendly ingredients. These rolls are made with almond flour and flax meal for fibre and protein. The sweetener is zero-glycemic erythritol, which doesn’t spike blood sugar.

After lots of testing, I nailed the soft, pillowy texture of the original rolls. When my family wants to go to Texas Roadhouse for their famous rolls, I make a batch at home, and everyone is happy! Keep reading for the complete step-by-step method. I’ll also share tips for ensuring your rolls turn out perfect.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Keto Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Ready to make some magic? Follow these steps:

  1. Whisk together the almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, beat the olive oil, eggs, and erythritol together until smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. The dough will be thick.
  4. Next, beat in the warm water and yeast until fully incorporated.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. It allows the yeast to activate.
  6. Grease a muffin tin with butter or oil. I use a 12-cup tin, but a 6-cup works too.
  7. Scoop the rested dough into the muffin cups, filling each about halfway.
  8. Cover again and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  10. Brush the risen dough with egg wash. This gives the rolls a pretty sheen.
  11. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden. The rolls will sound hollow when tapped.
  12. While the rolls are baked, make the honey butter. Cream together the butter, erythritol, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  13. When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush with more melted butter for extra richness.
  14. Let cool for 5 minutes before digging into these hot, fresh keto rolls!

And that’s it! As you can see, these rolls aren’t difficult to make at all. They require a little patience as the dough rises. But the end result is so worth it.

Tips and Notes for Perfect Keto Texas Roadhouse Rolls

Here are some of my best tips for roll success:

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temp. Cold eggs or butter will affect the rise.
  • Don’t skip the second butter brush after baking! It makes the rolls super moist.
  • If your dough isn’t rising well, try proofing the yeast first in warm water before adding it.
  • Add a pinch more xanthan gum if your rolls don’t hold their shape well.
  • Switch up the shape! Make cloverleaf rolls by dividing the dough into small balls before baking.
  • For quicker rolls, use a baking powder biscuit method rather than yeast. It won’t be as fluffy but still delicious!
  • Drizzle the tops with melted butter and seasoning salt before baking for a salty, savoury twist.

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Honey Butter Rolls?

This sweet cinnamon honey butter really takes these rolls over the top. And it’s just as easy to make as the rolls:

  1. Soften one stick of butter – leave it out for 1-2 hours.
  2. Beat the butter with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the powdered erythritol, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  4. Mix until fully combined. Taste and add more cinnamon if desired.
  5. Transfer the honey butter to a ramekin and enjoy with the warm rolls! It also stores nicely in the fridge.

The honey butter balances the perfect hint of sweetness with the salty, baked bread. It’s heavenly spread over the soft interior of the rolls fresh from the oven. I like to use raw honey for its enzymes and nutrients. Just a small amount gives a big honey flavour.
