Parker House Roll

Parker House Rolls are made by mixing flour, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and milk together to form a dough. The dough is then kneaded and left to rise before being shaped into rolls and baked until they are golden brown and fluffy. The rolls have a rich, buttery flavor and a soft texture.
