Tyler Florence Parker House Rolls (Courtesy of Nummy Kitchen)



3 Tbsp warm water
3 tsp yeast
3 Tbsp sugar
2 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup plus 1 Tbsp milk
6 Tbsp butter

Put water, yeast and sugar into bowl and set aside 5 min to rise. While yeast is proofing, heat 1 cup milk with the butter until butter melts. Add yeast and milk in your mixer and add bread flour with salt combine well. Add about 1 1/2 cups of the flour slowly until dough is soft and just past the sticky stage so it pulls away from the bowl nicely. Do not over mix this dough the rolls will be tough.

Place dough into greased bowl and let rise about 1 hour until doubled. Shape into round balls and place in greased 9 x 13 baking dish so the rolls aren't touching and let rise again about 40 min until doubled. Take a pair of kitchen scissors and cut an x in the top of each ball and let rise another 15 min. (I ran to the store for this stage of the recipe and missed my opportunity to cut the rolls they had risen too much so my rolls aren't as pretty)

Bake 350 degrees (recipe says 375) for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned.
