Equipment

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- ¼ cup water, warmed
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
For Brushing
- 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing rolls before and after baking
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the milk, yeast mixture, and softened butter. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, then fold in half to form the Parker House signature shape.
- Arrange rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with additional melted butter after baking and serve warm.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, refrigerate the dough overnight after the first rise. This will enhance the texture and flavor.
