Soft, golden, and buttery, Parker House Rolls are a timeless classic with a signature fold and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfect as a side, for sliders, or just warm with a pat of butter.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 4 cups – The structure-building base for tender rolls
- Granulated Sugar: ¼ cup – Light sweetness that helps yeast activate
- Active Dry Yeast: 2 ¼ teaspoons – Leavens the dough to make it fluffy
- Warm Milk: 1 cup – Adds richness and moisture
- Warm Water: ½ cup – Hydrates the dough
- Salt: 1 ½ teaspoons – Balances and enhances flavor
- Unsalted Butter: 6 tablespoons, melted – Infuses flavor and brushed for shine
- Egg: 1 – Adds richness and binding to the dough
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Combine Ingredients: Mix warm milk, water, sugar, and yeast. Let foam. Add flour, salt, egg, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Knead into a soft dough.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Let dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, for 1 hour.
- Assemble the Dish: Roll dough to ½-inch thick, cut into strips, fold, and arrange in the dish.
