Storing these Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls
Serve: These are best served fresh and warm. With that said, you can make these up to a day ahead of time.
Store: Once the rolls cool, transfer them to a Ziploc bag or air-tight container and store for 1-2 days. Any longer, and they become stale.
Freeze: Once the rolls are completely cool, wrap them in foil and place them in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. Freeze for 1-2 months. Then, defrost the rolls overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 3-5 hours.
Reheat: Place the rolls in a 350-degree F oven for 2-5 minutes or until heated through. Brush with more melted butter if desired. Serve immediately.

SECOND RISE:

Can you make the dough ahead of time and freeze unbaked rolls
Jess Jankowski says
Hi Bea, we have not tested that with this recipe. We have only tested freezing them after baking the rolls. We are not confident that the rolls will rise properly after defrosting them.
