Ingredients Needed
- Active Dry Yeast: Key for leavening the rolls, making them rise and become fluffy.
- Milk: Warm milk helps activate the yeast and adds richness and tenderness to the dough.
- Honey: Adds sweetness to the rolls and helps ferment the yeast.
- Melted Butter: Essential for giving the rolls their characteristic buttery flavor and soft texture. Some of it is mixed into the dough, while the rest is used for brushing on top.
- All-Purpose Flour: The primary ingredient for the rolls, providing structure and softness.
How To Make Sister Schubert’s Parker House Rolls
Step One: Mix the yeast, warm milk, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Leave for about 15 minutes until it starts to foam.
Step Two: Add the flour, melted butter, and salt to the yeast. Mix well until everything is well combined.
Step Three: Once the dough has formed, knead for a few minutes, cover with a kitchen towel, and leave until it doubles for about 1 hour.
Step Four: Spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray. Roll the dough into about 1-inch to 2-inch balls. Place your dough inside the coated pan.
Step Five: Cover with saran wrap and wait about 30 minutes.
Step Six: Set in the air fryer oven or air fryer basket at air fryer temperature of 310 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 12-16 minutes.
Sister Schubert’s Parker House Rolls Recipe Tips
- Let the yeast mixture foam properly before adding flour to ensure the rolls rise perfectly.
- Knead the dough just until smooth; over-kneading can make rolls dense.
- Allow the dough to double in size for a soft, fluffy texture.
- Roll the dough balls evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Brush the tops with melted butter after baking for a golden, flavorful finish.
