Garlic Parker House Rolls

Instructions

1. Lightly butter an 8x8 or 11 x 7 inch baking dish or pan and set aside.
2. In a small pot, warm the milk and 3 tbsp butter over medium low heat until the butter melts. Stir in the honey.
3. Add the yeast, flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the milk mixture, 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Use the dough hook and knead for 7-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. The dough will be slightly tacky.
4. Lightly rub a large bowl with some butter. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. It will be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Punch the dough dough and divide it into 9 or 12 equal pieces. If you want to be precise, use your kitchen scale to see how much your dough weighs, then divide by 9 or 12.
6. Roll the dough into balls, stretching, and pinching and tucking into balls with smooth tops. Place them in the buttered pan, cover and let rise until doubled and puffy, about 1 hour.
7. Heat the oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining egg white mixed with 1 teaspoon water. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
8. While the buns are baking, make the garlic butter by melting the remaining 4 tbsp butter, along with the garlic over low heat in a small sauce pan. When melted, stir in the parsley.
9. Once the buns come out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter and finish with flaky sea salt. Enjoy warm!
