HOW TO COOK PARKER HOUSE ROLLS?

Parker House Rolls are a classic and delicious bread roll that is perfect for any meal. These rolls have a soft and buttery texture and a slightly sweet flavor, thanks to the addition of milk and sugar in the dough. The rolls are traditionally shaped by rolling the dough into a ball and then flattening it into a disk before folding the edges into the center, creating a distinctive crescent shape. Here is the recipe for Parker House Rolls:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is lukewarm (around 110°F).
2. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast has activated and formed a foam.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
4. Add the yeast mixture and 1/2 cup of the butter to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and set it aside in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
8. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
9. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then flatten it into a disk. Fold the edges of the dough into the center, creating a crescent shape.
10. Place the rolls on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll.
11. Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
12. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush them with the remaining 1/4 cup of butter.
13. Serve the Parker House Rolls warm.
