Citrus Free Classic Parker House Rolls

Few things in the bread world beat a pull-apart roll that's golden on the outside, pillowy in the middle, and glistening with melted butter straight from the oven. These classic folded rolls are built from a short, honest list of pantry staples — flour, milk, egg, yeast, butter, and a pinch of salt — with absolutely nothing citrus-based hiding in the mix. That makes them a genuinely worry-free bake, since so many enriched bread recipes sneak in orange zest or lemon juice for brightness, and here you simply don't need it. The dough gets its richness from whole milk and softened butter worked in gradually, which gives each roll that signature soft, slightly chewy crumb. The folding technique is what sets these apart: each piece of dough is patted into an oval, brushed with butter, and folded over itself before nestling into the pan, so every bite has a tender, buttery seam running right through the center. A final brush of melted butter and a scatter of flaky sea salt right out of the oven takes them from great to genuinely hard to stop eating. Serve them alongside a roast, a bowl of soup, or honestly just on their own — no one will complain.
