Parker House Rolls

 Another delicious recipe from JustIngredients.  I'm still experimenting and learning about baking sourdough bread.  These rolls were delicious.  I made a few changes to the recipe, including halving the measurements because I didn't have a large crowd to feed.  My changes are reflected below.


1 cup bubbly sourdough starter
1/3 cup room temperature water
1 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
about 5 cups flour (I used organic unbleached all-purpose)
extra melter butter to brush before baking

Gently mix sourdough starter and water in a small bowl.  Set aside.

In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, and salt.  Mix well.  Add 2 cups flour, mix well.  Then add sourdough mixture and mix just until incorporated.  Add 1 cup flour and melted butter and mix again.

Switch attachment to dough hook.  Add the rest of the flour, one-half cup at a time, until dough barely cleans side of the bowl.  Knead well for 5-10 minutes, until dough is smooth.  Cover and let rise for 6-8 hours.  After rising at room temperature, you can put dough in the fridge overnight before moving on to the next step.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 3/4-inch thick.  Use the top of a cup to cut dough into circles.  Place dough rounds on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and fold so that the top half slightly overlaps with the bottom half (looks a little like a taco on its side!).  Cover and let rise until doubled (about 2-3 hours).

Bake at 350 for 13-16 minutes.  Brush with melted butter (optional) and serve.
