Parker House Rolls

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in ½ cup warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the milk, salt, egg, oil, remaining sugar, water and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll out each piece to ⅓-in. or ½-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Brush with butter if desired.
  4. Make an off-center crease in each roll. Fold along crease so the large half is on top; press along folded edge. Place 2 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

    Mmmmm — these look like soft pillows of deliciousness :)

  4. Pam @ From Apples To Zucchini:

    I have been wanting to make these FOREVER! They look amazing…I might have to give in soon (but of course I have more cookies to bake first) ;)

  5. Erin:

    I’ve heard a lot about these rolls too. But I’m not a big bread baker since I live alone and my freezer space is very limited. Definitely want to make these whenever I manage to have a dinner party – whenever my apartment is no longer a raving mess.

  6. Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen:

    These are some of the best Parker House rolls I’ve seen!

  7. Mary Beth:

    Parker rolls are something I’ve always wanted to try. I’ll have to make use of my flour stash as well :).

  8. Rachel @ Baked by Rachel:

    We’d be horrible at a restaurant together – eating up the bread like no ones business lol. I need to add this to my list!

  9. Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar:

    These are lovely!

  10. Tracey:

    I made park house rolls back in the day, but they didn’t look anywhere near as good as yours!! I need to try this recipe, maybe I’ll add these to our Christmas day menu :)

  11. Lynne:

    I dearly love these rolls! My mom made them every Thanksgiving!

  12. Deanna:

    I’ve been wanting to try my hand at some kind of “bread” recipe and I think this will work out perfectly!!!! I HOPE!! They look scrumptious!!!!

  13. Emily Malloy @Cleanliness:

    Holy Potatoes, this is amazing.

  14. Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts:

    I love making fresh bread! These rolls look perfect. I am pinning this now!

  15. Bill:

    unless you need to knead for therapy reasons, check out ‘bread in 5 minutes’–way better than white bread, way easier, and you can run wild replacing your stash from all those great barrels in the bulk section!

  16. Elaine:

    I just love the shape of your parker house rolls! I have never made these myself, but now I must and I want to make them look like yours.

  17. nicole:

    these.. these are going on the list of things to make when I am visiting. :-P

  18. Javelin Warrior:

    I hope you don’t mind but I’m so inspired I’ve included this post in my Friday Food Fetish roundup. Thanks for sharing and MOAR please :)
