In
a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm
water; let stand 5 minutes. Add milk, salt, egg, oil, 2 cups flour and
remaining water and sugar. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in
enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic,
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 2
portions. Roll each portion to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured
2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. If desired, brush with butter.
Using the dull edge of a knife, crease each slightly off-center. Fold
at the crease. Press edges together lightly. Place 2 in. apart on
greased baking sheets. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
Tips
How can you make Parker House rolls your own?
Parker
House rolls are named after the Boston Parker House Hotel, where they
first originated in the 1870s. Although there have been many variations
of this classic roll, you can still add your own twist. Drawing
inspiration from our herbed dinner rolls, try brushing them with butter and sprinkling with some herbs and Parmesan cheese for added savor.
What can you serve with Parker House rolls?
The fluffy,
delicately sweet yeast rolls are perfect for holiday meals and parties.
They can be served as they are, or you can get creative and turn them
into small slider sandwiches. A combo of ham and cheese is always a classic!
Can you freeze Parker House rolls?
This is the perfect
recipe to make ahead of time! Make these all the way through, let them
cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container. They will keep
for up to 3 months. Simply reheat them in the oven until they are warmed
through; they will taste as fresh as the day they were baked!
