Salted Honey Butter Parker House Rolls Recipe

Introduction

These Salted Honey Butter Parker House Rolls are soft, buttery, and lightly sweetened with honey. Perfectly golden and topped with flaky sea salt, they make an irresistible side for any meal or a comforting snack on their own.

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)
• 1 packet Fleischmann’s® Rapid Rise Yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup warm whole milk
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 4 tablespoons salted butter (at room temperature)
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• Flaky sea salt (for topping)
• 6 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
• 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. Step 1: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk, honey, egg, and room temperature butter. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is fully incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour as needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to a few hours.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, make the honey butter by combining the melted butter and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Step 4: Lightly flour your work surface. Turn the dough out and punch it down. Divide it in half and roll each half into a 12-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush the honey butter over each square, saving some for later.
5. Step 5: Cut each square into 6 strips. Roll each strip into a coil and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
6. Step 6: Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes until puffy. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate overnight.
7. Step 7: Bake the rolls for 18-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining honey butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use warm but not hot milk to activate the yeast without killing it.
• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use a milk substitute.
• Brush leftovers with warmed honey butter before reheating to restore softness and flavor.

Storage

Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked rolls wrapped tightly in foil for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through, brushing with additional honey butter if desired.

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can let the dough rise covered in the refrigerator overnight. This slow rise enhances the flavor and allows you to bake fresh rolls the next day.

What can I use if I don’t have a stand mixer?

You can mix the dough by hand using a strong spoon or your hands and then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

• 1 cup warm whole milk
• 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

1. Mixing the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, and kosher salt. Add the warm whole milk, honey, egg, and room temperature butter. Using the dough hook attachment, mix until the flour is fully incorporated and a soft dough forms, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, gradually add up to 1/4 cup more flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to a few hours to rise gently.
2. Preparing Honey Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted salted butter and honey. Set aside most of this mixture for brushing onto the dough and saving some for after baking to maximize flavor.
3. Preparing to Shape Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Lightly flour your work surface, then turn out the rested dough and gently punch it down to release any air. Divide the dough into two equal halves.
4. Shaping the Rolls: Roll each half into a 12-inch square about 1/4-inch thick. Brush each square generously with the honey butter mixture. Cut each square into 6 strips. Roll each strip into a coil shape and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them snugly side by side.
5. Proofing the Rolls: Cover the baking dish with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes until puffy. Alternatively, the rolls can be refrigerated overnight for a slower rise, which enhances flavor and texture.
6. Baking: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and immediately brush them with the reserved honey butter mixture. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.
7. Serving: Pull the warm rolls apart and serve immediately to enjoy their soft, buttery texture and rich honey flavor.

Notes

• You can refrigerate the shaped rolls overnight to bake fresh the next day, which improves flavor.
• If the dough is too sticky while mixing, add flour gradually to avoid tough rolls.
• Use flaky sea salt for the best texture and flavor contrast as a finishing touch.
• These rolls are best served warm to fully enjoy the honey butter glaze.
• Ensure butter and egg are at room temperature to properly combine ingredients and achieve a tender dough.
