Holy Cow these garlic and herb parker house rolls are one of the most coveted homemade bread recipes I have! I’m so excited to finally share them with you guys! I mean… freshly baked rolls make me, honestly, weak at the knees.
The flavor of these rolls takes them to a whole new level of bread yum. The aroma of these baking in the kitchen is off the charts amazing. Trust me when I tell you, you and your family will love these!
Garlic and Herb Parker House Rolls
Is there anything better in the entire world than freshly baked rolls, biscuits, and bread? I can’t say that I think there is. Listen, I LOVE food! That’s why I personally learned to cook. Baked bread goods fit into a category that I love more than anything!
These particular rolls have the signature Parker House fold, are incredibly tender, fluffy, and delicate. Then they’re layered with buttery garlic and fresh herbs. All of the garlicky butter seeps into the tender roll and the flavor is unbelievable.
I serve these along with my homemade crescent rolls, and lion house rolls at most holidays-Easter, Thanksgiving, and of course, Christmas. I swear if I didn’t, I think my family might revolt! LOL
You’ll be proud to serve these at your formal holiday table or at a family dinner! Promise. Try my garlic bread and beer bread next!

Important Ingredient Notes, Tips + Tricks
- Warm Water: I always use an instant-read thermometer to measure the temperature of the yeast. It should be between 105-110 degrees.
- Yeast: Make sure you check the date on your yeast! Don’t bother using it if it’s past its expiration. I always like to have extra envelopes on hand because even if you’ve recently purchased them, you might get a dud! If it doesn’t foam at step one, through it out and start over with a new packet of yeast.
- Cool The Butter: After melting the butter, allow it to cool. If it’s too hot it can kill the yeast.
- Placing on the pan: This recipe fits nicely on a half-sheet baking tray (18” x 13” x 1”). The rolls should be placed with 1/4 inch space between them.
