Parker House Rolls

Print Recipe

Warm, buttery, and soft enough to melt in your mouth, these Parker House Rolls are a must-have for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any holiday dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 1 (.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a saucepan, heat milk and 1/2 cup butter until butter is melted. Cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. Add yeast mixture and milk mixture, stirring to combine.
  4. Gradually stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  7. Punch down dough and roll out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Cut into 2-inch squares, brush half of each square with melted butter, fold over, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  11. Bake rolls for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and brush with remaining melted butter before serving.

Notes

For extra soft rolls, brush with butter immediately after baking. These rolls freeze well; thaw and reheat before serving.
