Parker House Rolls

Instructions

Put the milk, egg, yolk together in the bowl of a stand mixer. In a separate bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Pour dry ingredients into the stand mixer with the wet ingredients. Mix together with dough hook attachment on low speed for 4 minutes, until the dough comes together. Increase speed to medium speed and slowly add in the butter a little bit at a time, waiting until each addition is incorporated before adding the next addition. Continue mixing on medium speed until dough is developed, about 20  minutes or until the dough is very shiny and slaps the bowl when being mixed. Remove from bowl and let rest on refrigerator on a greased sheet pan, lightly covered with plastic wrap for 12 hours.

Pre-heat oven to 350F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and scale rolls to 40g each, or 20 evenly divided pieces of dough. Shape your dough into nice smooth balls and place in a 13×9 baking dish lined with non-stick baking spray. Allow to proof in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size. Gently brush with egg yolk and bake until golden brown, about 10-14 minutes. Brush with melted clarified butter, or ghee, when it comes out of the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy with family and friends.

Amanda Pallagi Naim
Executive Pastry Chef

Growing up cooking alongside her grandma in rural Texas, Amanda’s natural craftiness and prowess in the kitchen turned into a full-fledged business in high school. Despite this early success and subsequent roles in restaurants, Amanda didn’t consider culinary school seriously until 2008 when she joined Four Seasons Hotel Austin as a hostess in the restaurant. Drawn inexorably to the pastry shop, she was taken under the wing of the executive pastry chef who motivated her to seek out professional training. Over the next five years, Amanda took on increasing levels of responsibility before her promotion to the top pastry position in late-2015.
