Texas Roadhouse Buttery Dinner Rolls     

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 1/4 cups warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 large egg slightly beaten
8 tablespoons butter melted, divided

Cinnamon Butter:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 ounces granulated sugar
2 ounces brown sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation:
Place 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast, salt, sugar and dry milk. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine water and egg and stir to blend. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour water mixture into the well. Mix by hand, beating 150 strokes and frequently scraping bottom and sides of bowl. Add 1/2 of the melted butter and beat to incorporate. Add remaining flour, about 1/3 cup at a time, beating to incorporate each addition. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set dough in a warm, draft free place such as oven with a pan of the hottest tap water on the rack below.

Allow batter to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Coat bottom and sides of 2 (8 inch) round cake pans with shortening. Punch dough down (batter will be extremely soft and sticky). Drop by hand or spoonful into prepared pans, with sides touching. Brush dough with 1/2 remaining melted butter. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place, until doubled in bulk, about 30 minutes. Bake in preheated 400° oven, on middle rack for 16-18 minutes. Brush tops of baked rolls with remaining melted butter.

Cinnamon Butter: Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until mixture is smooth. Serve with hot rolls or muffins. This may be stored in the refrigerator.
