Parker House Rolls

I have been itching to get back into bread baking but it’s been tough since my flour stash got thrown out when we moved last summer. My stash now consists of white flour and that’s pretty much it – and there’s only so much that can be done with white flour. I’ve been scouring the internet for simple rolls and breads to satisfy my need to knead. (har har)

Parker House Rolls are something I’ve always heard about but I wasn’t really sure what they were until I made them recently. They’re basically a slightly sweet roll that’s folded over (so you can split it open and smear butter all over, of course) before baking. They’re so much simpler than they look and are guaranteed to impress!

This recipe is very simple and the dough is a breeze to work with. It rolled out like a dream and held it’s shape beautifully during baking. My family gobbled these up and asked for more long after they were gone!
