Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110°F-115°F)
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0 nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and foamy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
Step 2
Warm the low-fat milk in a microwave or on the stovetop until lukewarm (do not overheat). Add the milk, unsweetened applesauce, and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring well to combine.
Step 3
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Continue until the dough starts to come together and is slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Form the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a large bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut it into 12 even portions using a sharp knife or a dough cutter. Shape each piece into a smooth roll.
Step 7
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the rolls on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. These low-fat Texas Roadhouse rolls are best enjoyed warm and can be paired with a light spread of butter or jam if desired.
