Ingredients

Recipe: Garlic Butter Parker House Rolls

1 3/4 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1/2 cup sugar

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

1/2 cup water water

3 large eggs

2 tsp kosher salt

6 cups all purpose flour + extra for kneading

Garlic butter—

1 stick butter, melted

3-4 garlic cloves, finely grated

2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Flakey sea salt

Directions

In a small pot heat milk to a low simmer. Turn off the heat and add in butter and sugar. Dissolve sugar and ensure butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool.

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Give it one small mix and set aside until make sure is foamy/active. Set aside

In a stand mixer mixing bowl, combine milk, sugar and butter mixture, along with the active yeast, eggs, salt and 3 cups of flour first. Using a dough hook need the dough on low for 1-2 minutes. Scraping the sides when necessary.

Continue to add another cup of flour until all 6 cups are incorporated into the mix. Knead the dough until smooth. About 5-6 mins.

On a clean and generously floured surface, pour all of the dough onto the surface and knead by hand for 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour if the dough is too sticky— up to 1/4 cup of flour is ok. Formed the dough into one ball and place in an oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let it rise for one hour. Or until dough has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Uncover the dough and punch down on the dough to get rid of large air bubbles. (Just 4-5 punches)

Cut them into 12 equal pieces. Tuck and roll the edges to form a flat round ball. Then place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 to 22 minutes, depending on your oven.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, freshly grated garlic, and finally minced parsley. Mix well.

Brush the rolls with garlic butter and finish it off with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Enjoy while warm!
