Parker House Rolls
Yield: 2 dozen rolls

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp. water, lukewarm (105º – 110º)
3 Tbsp.sugar
2-1/2 tsp. active Dry Yeast
4 ounces unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
2 cups bread flour
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour (more if necessary)

Method:

Preheat oven to 375º F.

Stir together the warm water, 1 Tbsp. of sugar and yeast in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Melt 3 oz. butter in a small saucepan. Add milk and heat to lukewarm. Pour into a large bowl.

Add in the yeast mixture, the remaining sugar, the bread flour and salt and mix until well combined. Add in enough all-purpose flour to make a slightly sticky dough that forms into a ball.

Butter a large bowl. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball and place it in the buttered bowl. Turn to coat completely and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to double in size.

Butter a 9” x 13” baking pan. Divide dough into 24 equal pieces and roll into balls. Place in the pan and cover loosely for about 45 mins., or until doubled.

Make a deep crease down the center of each row of rolls with a floured chopstick or ruler. Allow to rise for another 15 mins.

Brush tops of rolls with remaining butter, melted and bake until golden, for 20 – 25 minutes.

Remove from oven. Cool rolls in the pan on a rack for about 5 mins. Turn out onto a rack and cool.
