One of the requirements for any holiday dinner at our house is homemade rolls. Parkerhouse Rolls are a great choice and can be made ahead of time.
Make Ahead Rolls
The only problem with homemade rolls on a holiday is how much time they take. Making the dough, let it rise, form the roll, let it rise, bake. It takes some time and if all you were making is homemade rolls that wouldn't be so bad but you are making an entire, huge holiday dinner also!!
Today's recipe will hopefully make that holiday meal prep a little easier and still allow you to enjoy delicious homemade rolls. These rolls can be made ahead and then frozen. Just pull them out 4 -5 hours before you want to bake them so they can thaw and rise. I love to keep a couple of pans of these in the freezer so when the craving for homemade bread/rolls arises I am prepared! They are also great to giveaway to someone along with a pot of soup.
How to Make Parkerhouse Rolls
Mix together the dough following directions below. It is a nice, light and soft dough. Add enough flour so that it is workable. If you have questions about working with yeast, check out this post.
After the dough rises and doubles in size, roll out the dough on a well floured counter. I use a 2 inch biscuit cutter to cut out circles.
Fold each circle over in half and place in a greased pan.
I like to use the round disposable cake pans but any size is fine. If you'd like you can dip the round discs of dough into more melted butter before you fold them and place them in the pan but I find them delicious enough without the extra butter.
One recipe makes two pan fulls.
How to Freeze Roll Dough
If you are going to use them later cover them with plastic wrap and then foil and pop them in the freezer. If you can't wait and are going to eat them now let them rise. Just place them in a nice warm spot and cover lightly with a towel.
Bake them until golden brown.
Inhale that wonderful smell of freshly baked rolls!! Breathe it in!
Then pull of a roll, slater in butter and enjoy!
