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 special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package or 7 g)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable shortening (45 g) or unsalted butter (57 g)
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (560 g)
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for finishing)
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt like Maldon salt (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk on the stovetop and dissolve the yeast in it.
  2. Add warmed vegetable shortening, sugar, salt, and the egg to the milk mixture.
  3. Knead the liquid ingredients into the flour using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out the dough and cut into rectangles.
  6. Butter each rectangle and fold them over.
  7. Place the folded dough pieces in a pan and let them rise again, or refrigerate overnight and bring to room temperature before baking.
  8. Bake the rolls until golden brown.
  9. Brush the hot rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

These rolls can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight for convenience. Brushing with butter after baking keeps them soft and adds extra flavor. Using flaky sea salt on top enhances the buttery taste.
