Parmesan Herb Parker House Rolls Recipes

PARKER HOUSE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and sugar and let cool. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until foamy. Combine milk mixture, eggs, yeast, salt, and 1/2 of the flour in a mixer with the dough attachment and mix until smooth. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until a smooth ball forms.
• Remove from the bowl and knead by hand on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 60 to 70 minutes. On a floured surface, punch down the dough and shape into desired shapes. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover again and let rise until doubled, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven 350 degrees F.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.

PARMESAN-HERB PARKER HOUSE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium until the butter is melted and the milk is warm to the touch. If it feels hot to the touch, not just warm, let it cool for a few minutes before proceeding. Whisk in the buttermilk and eggs.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the flour, Parmesan, sugar, parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, yeast and salt to combine. Add the milk mixture to the bowl and mix on low speed for 4 minutes, then on medium speed for 3 minutes more.
• Spray a medium bowl with nonstick spray, place the dough inside and cover the top of the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Divide the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll each piece into a tight round and place in the pan. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Towards the end of rise time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. For finishing, brush the rolls with about a third of the melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the top of each roll with Parmesan. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, then brush with the remaining butter and bake until the rolls are deep golden brown and no longer doughy inside, about 5 minutes more. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
