My family loves homemade dinner rolls, every year I make dinner rolls every get together or just as such. It has been long time since I made dinner rolls and I wanted to try flavored Parker House dinner rolls. And I did make Garlic Rosemary Parker House Dinner Rolls with Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast. It is easy, you don’t need to dedicate a long time in the kitchen to make this Garlic Rosemary Parker House Dinner Rolls.
What is Parker House Dinner Rolls?
This parker house rolls are made in Omni Parker House Hotel (built in 1855), a hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. They prepared and served two famous American food, Parker house rolls and Boston cream pie. Parker house rolls are delicious and special because of the butter. Beauty of the recipe is you need to brush the butter in between while making Parker House Dinner Rolls. A Parker House roll is a bread roll made by flattening the center of a ball of dough with a rolling pin so that it becomes an oval shape and then folding the oval in half.
How I made Garlic and Rosemary Parker House Dinner Rolls?
I think when you bake the bread from scratch, starting from mixing, measuring and pouring and finally when you wait patiently for the product of your love that is the end result (the dinner rolls) – the joy it brings always makes it worth it. And with Fleischmann’s 150 years of experience, you can bake quality, yeast recipes you’re proud to share. The offering that you baked yourself expresses more than words can say.
I used the basic dinner rolls recipe from Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast site. Add water heated to 120˚F-130˚F and follow recipe instructions. Always use a thermometer to check temperature. And the yeast shouldn’t be expired. That is often the reason of ‘not rising’. You need to just mix everything and leave it for 10 minutes.
Then shape and rise second time and bake it. I found that brushing with fresh garlic and herbs in butter or oil after when dinner just out of the oven gives more flavor and bites than incorporating it in the dough. This inspiration is from my Pampushky /ukrainian garlic bread
This Garlic and Rosemary Parker House Dinner rolls are easy to make. I found that it is not that easy to shape as the original Parker House Dinner rolls as it requires flattening in the center of a ball of dough with a rolling pin so that it becomes an oval shape and then folding the oval in half. Instead of that I just rolled the a ball of dough into 2 X 3 ½ inch rectangle and then brush with butter and fold them to keep in place.
I didn’t do any egg-wash. Once the dinner rolls come out of the oven it is brushed with garlic -rosemary butter with pinch of salt in it.
They are best of best when you serve fresh. The next day, they are also very good if you keep them in airtight bags. Just warm them when you need them.
Give it try and you will like it. This recipe makes 12 dinner rolls, but the unbaked rolls freeze well.

Ingredients
- 2 to 2-¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 2-¼ tsp. packet Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk whole
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoon butter You can use Margarine also

- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon rosemary chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Combine ¾ cup flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt in a stand mixer bowl and stir until blended. Combine milk, water and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 15 second increments until very warm but not hot to the touch (120° to 130°F. Butter won’t melt completely). Add to flour mixture.
- Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add ¼ cup flour; beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in just enough of the remaining flour (1 to 1-¼ cups) so that the dough will form into a ball.

- Cut dough (504g) into 12 equal pieces about 42 g; shape into balls using your hands. Slightly flattened into 2 x 3 ½ inch rectangle and brush with melted butter and then fold the dough just like a packet. And place in greased 8-inch square pan. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 18- 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- While bread is baking in a small bowl add 1 ½ tablespoon melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary and sea salt and mix well. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to intense the flavor.

Swathi, these look wonderful! There's nothing like a homemade dinner roll. Of course, I have to leave out the garlic (allergic), but I'll give the rosemary a try.
