I have always wanted to make Parker House Rolls, especially after seeing numerous magazines with perfectly baked, golden brown, soft, fluffy and hot-off-the-oven pictures of the rolls.
I really like the idea of baking homemade rolls.
My assistant Kendoll and I gathered all the ingredients and spent some time baking these perfect Parker House Rolls.
To make them exactly the same size, we weighed the dough.
The end result is this gorgeous tray of rolls that look like they are from a bakery.
These Parker House Rolls are absolutely delicious.
There is no need to spread butter, they are just so tasty as is but of course butter will always make everything better.
I love the topping of Parmesan cheese; it makes the rolls even more tantalizing.
Make these dinner rolls for your family, they are so worth it.

Cheesy Parker House Rolls Recipe
Cheesy Parker House Rolls – BEST Parker house rolls recipe with Parmesan cheese. Easy, fail-proof and yields soft and delicious homemade rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 envelope active dry yeast (1/4 oz)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, plus more for brushing
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Place milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Turn off heat, stir in the butter and sugar and let cool. Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until foamy, about 15 minutes.
-
In a mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine milk mixture, eggs, yeast mixture, salt, and 1/2 of the flour. Mix on medium-low speed. Gradually add the remaining flour and mix until a smooth ball forms. (Alternatively, you can mix all ingredients in a large bowl and knead the dough by hand).
-
Place ball of dough in large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
-
Lightly flour a clean working surface. Divide the dough into 16 pieces and shape into rolls. Place rolls side by side in a greased 9”x13” baking pan. Cover the pan again and let the rolls rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Hi Caroline, I think so, but I can’t guarantee the results because I didn’t use fresh yeast.

The recipe states it makes 16 rolls, but on the photo it shows 15, three across and five down. They look delish, and I will try them. Love all your recipes and they all look great!!!!!

There is one that I didn’t show as I want to show 3×5 instead of the last row having 4 buns.

I love your recipes but I am confused about the name of this one. A Parker House Roll is not a recipe but how the Roll recipe is presented. You roll a small amount of any roll recipe into and oval shape and fold it in half and bake it.

Hi Ann, this is the recipe I used: http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a50207/cheesy-parker-house-rolls-recipe/
The shape is exactly like what I did. If you Google the recipe, Food Network has the same shape too by Bobby Flay. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/parker-house-rolls-recipe2. Martha Stewart has the same shape, too: http://www.marthastewart.com/863297/parker-house-rolls. Now I am confused.
Rod Moeller
I tried your recipe and needed way more flour than the 3.5 cups you mentioned. Are you sure all quantities are correct?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, we used this recipe and didn’t change anything: http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a50207/cheesy-parker-house-rolls-recipe/
It worked and the pictures are exactly what the recipe yields.

Love your recipes. Easy to follow and always turn out well, delicious. Thank you! Just to confirm you are using all purpose flour or bread flour for your rolls?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes all-purpose flour. It turned out very soft and pillowy just like the pictures. :)

Hi
Can you make the dough balls ahead of time and freeze?
Rasa Malaysia
I think so but I can’t guarantee the same results as I didn’t do it that way.
