Parker House Rolls with Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• butter (Used in the milk mixture and again for the garlic butter; amounts not stated.)
• warm milk (Amount not stated.)
• sugar (Amount not stated.)
• warm water (Amount not stated.)
• active dry yeast (Amount not stated.)
• 3 eggs
• salt (Amount not stated.)
• flour (Amount not stated; additional flour may be used on the kneading surface or if dough is too sticky.)
• oil (For oiling the mixing bowl; amount not stated.)
• garlic (Fresh; grated into the melted butter. Amount not stated.)
• parsley (Amount not stated.)
• flaky sea salt (For sprinkling on top; amount not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Warm the milk with the butter so the butter melts. Stir in the sugar, mixing until the butter is melted, then leave the mixture to cool.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, stir the active dry yeast into the warm water. Leave it until it becomes a little foamy.

3. 3

   Fit a stand mixer with a dough hook, or plan to mix by hand. Add the cooled butter-and-milk mixture to the mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Add the eggs to the bowl, followed by the salt, yeast mixture, and flour.

5. 5

   Mix slowly, scraping down the sides of the bowl so everything is fully combined. Gradually add the rest of the flour as the dough mixes.

6. 6

   When the dough becomes nice and smooth, take it out of the mixer. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough.

7. 7

   Knead the dough by hand. Add a little more flour if it is too sticky, and use a scraper to lift any very sticky dough from the surface.

8. 8

   Form the dough into a large ball. Oil the mixing bowl, place the dough inside, cover it, and let it rise for at least 1 hour.

9. 9

   Uncover the risen dough and punch it down. Transfer it to a clean, floured surface and divide it into equal pieces.

10. 10

    Tuck and roll the ends of each piece underneath to shape a round ball. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rest and rise for another 30 minutes.

11. 11

    Uncover the rolls and put them in the oven. The source does not state an oven temperature or baking duration.

12. 12

    While the rolls bake, melt butter for the garlic butter. Grate fresh garlic into it, add parsley, and stir well.

13. 13

    When the rolls look like the finished rolls shown in the video, take them out of the oven. While they are still hot, brush them with the garlic butter.

14. 14

    Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the rolls as the final touch.

Notes

The source does not give quantities for most ingredients, oven temperature, or baking time; follow the video for the rolls' baked appearance. The transcript says to let the first dough rise at least 1 hour and the shaped rolls rise another 30 minutes.
