How to cook deliciously - Chef John's Parker House Rolls

1. Stage

Combine warm milk, warm water, and dry yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer . Let sit for 10 minutes. Add eggs, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Whisk all wet ingredients together. Add all purpose flour and knead with the dough hook (or manually) until dough comes together as a ball, 5 to 6 minutes.

Place dough into a lightly buttered bowl, cover, and let sit until the dough is doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Press the dough until it is flat, and divide into 24 equal portions. Form each portion into a smooth ball.

4. Stage

Line a baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
