Parker House Rolls
Soft, buttery, and irresistibly fluffy, Parker House Rolls are the ultimate comfort food that brings warmth to any table. Ready in just 50 minutes, they’re a quick yet impressive addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast, equal to 2 ¼ teaspoons
- ½ cup warm water
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Pour milk into a small saucepan and over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Remove saucepan from the stove, stir in the butter and sugar and set aside to let it cool.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until foamy.
- Combine milk mixture, eggs, yeast, salt, and 3 cups of the flour in a mixer (I used my Bosch) with the dough attachment and mix until smooth.
- Add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, and stir until a smooth ball forms.
- Remove dough from the bowl and knead by hand on a floured surface (it also helps to have flour on your hands too!) for about 5 minutes.
- Place dough in a large bowl sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 60 to 75 minutes).
- Remove the dough from the bowl and on a floured surface, punch down the dough and shape into desired shapes (I just made little balls for rolls).
- Place on a large cookie sheet (15x10x1") that has been covered with wax paper or a silicone baking sheet . Cover dough and let rise until doubled in size (about 30 to 40 minutes).
- Preheat the oven 350℉ and remove covering from rolls. Bake for about 20 minutes or until rolls start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving (completely optional, but it is delicious!).
