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!
