Parker House Rolls: A Culinary Delight

🌟 INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus extra for brushing
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 6 cups all-purpose flour

🌟 DIRECTIONS

1. Begin by warming the milk in a small saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat, stir in butter and sugar, and allow the mixture to cool.
2. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until it becomes foamy.
3. Combine the milk mixture, beaten eggs, yeast, salt, and half of the flour in a mixer with the dough attachment. Mix until a smooth consistency is achieved.
4. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a smooth ball of dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough from the mixer, kneading it by hand on a floured surface for approximately 5 minutes.
6. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which typically takes about 60 to 70 minutes.
7. Once risen, punch down the dough on a floured surface and shape it into your preferred roll shapes. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Cover the rolls once again and let them rise until doubled, which usually takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
10. Bake the rolls for approximately 20 minutes or until they achieve a golden brown hue.
11. Remove from the oven and generously brush the rolls with melted butter before serving.
