Salted Honey Parker House Rolls are soft, fluffy dinner rolls lightly sweetened with honey, brushed with warm honey butter, and finished with flaky sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- For the rolls:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened (for greasing pan)
- 4 1/2 cups (572 grams) all-purpose flour
- 4 1/2 teaspoons (14 grams) instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/3 cups (320 ml) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons (85 grams) honey
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- For the egg wash:
- 1 large egg, beaten
- For the honey butter topping:
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (42 grams) honey
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with softened butter.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, and salt.
- In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in milk and honey and heat until lukewarm (under 120°F/49°C).
- Whisk together egg and egg yolks.
- Add milk mixture and egg mixture to dry ingredients. Knead with dough hook 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 30–40 minutes until doubled.
- Divide dough into 15 equal portions and shape into smooth balls.
- Arrange in prepared pan, cover, and let rise 30 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush tops with beaten egg.
- Bake 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Melt butter for topping and stir in honey. Brush warm rolls generously and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
- Ensure milk mixture is not too hot to protect yeast activity.
- Dough should be slightly sticky but smooth after kneading.
- Brush with honey butter immediately after baking for soft tops.
- Rolls freeze well once cooled.
- Allow proper rising time for fluffy texture.
