Parker House Rolls

Updated: Dec 21, 2022



Parker House rolls are named after the Boston Parker House Hotel where they first originated during the 1870s. (I looked that up on Google)

All I know is they are soft and buttery and yeasty, and I would probably eat them every day of my life if I could. My husband made them for the second time on Thanksgiving and I think I would've been happy just eating only Parker House Rolls!!!


Anyways, we didn't do a video maybe we will someday but here's the recipe, and a picture of the finished product.


Yumm.


Ingredients:


3 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 1/2 teaspoons yeast

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 cup potato flour

3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

1 cup milk

1 large egg

3 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted; for brushing on rolls


Instructions (You've got this, just be patient with these instructions! It is so worth it!)


  • Whisk together the milk and egg, and slightly warm it.

  • In a mixer combine all of the ingredients (except the 3 1/2 tablespoons melted butter). 

  • Knead the dough for 8 min. until it's smooth.

  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl.

  • Let rise for 90 minutes. 

  • On a lightly greased surface, cut the dough in half.

  • Working with one half at a time, roll or pat the dough into an 8" x 12" rectangle.

  • Brush the dough all over with a light coating of the melted butter. 

  • Cut the dough in half lengthwise, to make two 4" x 12" rectangles. 

  • Working with one rectangle at a time, fold it lengthwise to about 1/2" of the other edge, so the bottom edge sticks out about 1/2" beyond the top edge. You'll now have a rectangle that's about 2 1/4" x 12". Repeat with the other piece of dough.

  • Cut each of the rectangles into four 3" pieces, making a total of 8 folded rolls, each about 2 1/4" x 3".

  • Flip the rolls over (so that their smooth non-folded side is facing up), and place them in a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.

  • Repeat with the remaining piece of dough, making 16 rolls - 4 rows of 4 - in the pan, with the longer side of the rolls going down the longer side of the pan.

  • Gently flatten the rolls to cover the bottom of the pan.

  • Cover, and let rise for about 1 hour.


Preheat oven to 350°F.


  • Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, until they're golden brown.

  • Top with butter and enjoy!
