Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it rest for ten minutes until foamy and bubbly.

Heat the milk slightly until warm. Do not boil it because very hot milk can kill the yeast.

Add warm milk, egg and softened butter into the yeast mixture. Stir gently until everything looks smooth and creamy.

Slowly add flour and salt into the bowl. Mix well until a soft dough begins forming together nicely.

Knead the dough for eight minutes until smooth and elastic. Use a stand mixer or your clean hands.

Place dough inside a greased bowl. Cover with towel and let it rise for one hour until doubled.

Punch down the dough gently. Roll it into a large rectangle on a lightly floured clean surface carefully.

Use a knife or cutter to make small rectangles. Keep the pieces even for equal baking and rising.

Brush rectangles with melted butter. Fold each piece in half gently to create the classic Parker roll shape.

Place shaped rolls onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave little spaces between them for rising and baking properly.

Cover rolls with towel again. Let them rise for thirty minutes until soft, puffy and airy before baking.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes. The tops should become golden brown and beautifully shiny.

Remove hot rolls from oven carefully. Brush melted butter over the tops for extra flavor and softness immediately.

Let the rolls cool for five minutes. Serve warm with butter, soup or your favorite family dinner meal.
