Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, melted butter, salt, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet close together, creating a row.
- Cover the baking sheet with a damp towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Homemade Parker House Rolls!
Tips:
- Make sure the milk is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
- You can brush the rolls with melted butter before baking for a shiny finish.
- These rolls are perfect for serving with soup, salad, or as a side dish with dinner.
