Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water.
- In a saucepan, heat milk, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of butter until lukewarm.
- Add the yeast mixture and 3 1/2 to 4 cups of flour to the warm milk mixture and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and pat to 3/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Fold each dough circle over a bit of butter to form Parker House rolls.
- Let the shaped rolls rise in a warm place on a baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, let the dough rest longer if time allows. You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you don't have rapid rise yeast, regular active dry yeast can be used, but you'll need to allow for longer rising times. Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for any meal and pair beautifully with Creamed Macaroni Meat Bake. Serve them warm with butter or alongside soups and salads. You can also use them to make sliders or as a base for breakfast sandwiches. For a sweet treat, enjoy them with jam or honey.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and shape the rolls ahead of time. After shaping, cover them tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, allow them to rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
What should I do if my rolls don’t rise?
If your rolls do not rise properly, it may be due to inactive yeast. Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking the expiration date. If using rapid rise yeast, the water temperature should be lukewarm (about 110°F/43°C) to activate it effectively.
Can I flavor these rolls?
Absolutely! You can add herbs, garlic powder, or cheese to the dough for added flavor. For a sweet version, consider mixing in cinnamon or vanilla extract. Experimenting with flavors can make these rolls even more delightful!
