These Parker House rolls gained widespread attention when I first made them on Top Chef Season 19. I had developed the recipe during my Covid baking phase and it quickly became a beloved household staple. Padma Lakshmi remarked that they were the best bread she had ever tasted on the show — a significant compliment.

Directions
Special equipment:
a kitchen scale- Mix the water and yeast together in a small bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
- Mix the egg, 80 grams (1/3 cup) of the butter, the sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the water and yeast mixture to the egg mixture. Add the flour and knead for 2 minutes. Spray a medium bowl with cooking spray. Place the dough in the greased bowl and place a lid on top. Allow the dough to rest until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours in a warm place or in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
- Butter two small cast-iron skillets with 15 grams (1 tablespoon) of the butter each. Set aside.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and cut into 14 equal pieces, each about 60 grams (2 ounces). Roll the dough into balls and place 7 balls into each buttered skillet. Cover the skillets with a towel and let rest in a warm place until puffed but not doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the egg yolk and milk together in a small bowl or cup. Brush the dough balls with the egg wash. Bake the rolls until cooked through and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Remove the rolls from the oven, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Enjoy!
