I also decided to make some Parker House rolls for Thanksgiving and tried a new recipe. This recipe makes 24 rolls. I did a half batch and they turned out good. I liked that the combining of ingredients was simple and there weren’t a lot of different steps where you added one thing at a time.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 package active dry yeast (~7 grams, I did like 4 grams for my half batch)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 Tbsp white sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 4 1/2 cup AP flour

1. Combine warm milk, water, yeast (~110-120F) – let sit for 10 minutes
2. Add eggs, sugar, salt, 1/2 cup melted butter
3. Whisk together
4. Add AP flour and knead until comes together (hand kneaded about 5-6 minutes)
5. Form into ball and place in lightly buttered bowl until double (~2 hours)
6. Press flat, divide into 24 portions and roll into ball (I weighed the whole thing and then portioned by weight).
7. Roll out into a 4-5 inch long oval and brush with melted butter, then fold in half
8. Place on lined baking sheet
9. Cover with towel (I did saran wrap) and let rise until almost doubled (~1 hour, mine rose in about 40 min)
10. Bake at 350 F (20-25 minutes) until golden brown
11. Brush with melted butter while still warm.

I would make this recipe again. These rolls were delicious and were gobbled up quickly at the family Thanksgiving dinner. The dough was easy to work with and not super sticky/wet.
