Parker House Rolls Monologue from Love in a Wood

From Love in a Wood by William Wycherley

male · contemplative · 1:15 min

2 cupfuls milk ¼ cupful butter flour 2 tablespoonfuls sugar 1 teaspoonful salt 1 compressed yeast cake To the scalding milk add salt, sugar, a little flour and the softened butter. Dissolve the yeast cake in about half a cupful of lukewarm water, stirring into the milk mixture as soon as it is lukewarm, not hot. Add sufficient flour to form a soft dough. Knead till it is smooth, put back into mixing pan, cover and let stand in a warm place till light. Usually it becomes very light in two hours. Turn it on the bread board, knead a little more, roll and cut into pieces to shape into rolls. Spread half of the inside with butter, fold the other half over and press it down. Place these in a covered well buttered pan till they are twice their original size, and bake from ten to twenty minutes.
