Beginner's Parker House Dinner Rolls My Recipe Magic from www.myrecipemagic.com

Description

Parker House rolls are classic dinner rolls that have a soft, buttery crumb and a lacy and crisp crust. The rolls are super easy to make, and the dough can be kept in the fridge for up to three days before baking. The rolls are the perfect accompaniment to any meal, from a holiday roast to a simple weeknight dinner. This classic recipe comes from the Joy of Cooking, which is one of the most beloved cookbooks of all time.

Ingredients

For the dough, you will need:

4 to 4-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 packages active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup warm milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter

For the filling, you will need:

1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the milk, sugar, eggs, and butter to the yeast mixture and stir until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

To make the filling, combine the melted butter, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the filling evenly over the dough and roll it up from the short end. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Cover the rolls and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
