How to Make Parker House Rolls

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while keeping moisture.

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.

Activate yeast in warm water until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Heat milk and butter until warm but not boiling, then cool slightly.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and milk mixture to the dry ingredients.

Incorporate eggs one at a time until fully combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball and place in a greased baking dish.

Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
