The Kitchn: Make your own Parker House rolls
1 cup whole milk
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, divided
2 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
2 teaspoons salt
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
24 smoked cocktail sausages
Additional flour, for rolling
Sprinkle yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar over the warm water and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the milk and 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter in a small saucepan over medium-low until butter is just melted. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved.
Combine the milk mixture, yeast mixture, eggs and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in 4 cups of flour and mix well. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until a ball of dough forms; the dough should be smooth and fairly sticky, but not tacky. If it seems too wet, add another 1/2 cup of flour.
