butter

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used for hydration.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar offers a similar sweetness with a hint of molasses.

Warm 1 cup of evaporated milk in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until slightly warmer than body temperature.

Add 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk to the warm evaporated milk.

Stir in active dry yeast and let it proof for about 10 minutes until foamy.

In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, 4 tablespoons of room temperature butter, and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt with all-purpose flour.

Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a buttered clear glass bowl, cover, and let it proof in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Flour the surface and gently turn out the dough, then punch it down.

Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick.

Using a 2 1/2 inch round cutter, cut out about 15 pieces of dough, avoiding twisting the cutter.

Place the cut dough pieces into a greased 9 by 13 baking pan, brushing the bottom with 2 tablespoons of melted salted butter.

Make the signature Parker House Roll indentation and fold each roll.

Cover the rolls and let them proof again until puffy, about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the rolls until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
