"The Parker House Roll was invented at Boston’s storied Parker House hotel, now the Omni Parker House, in the 1870s. The soft, butter-filled and -brushed roll that often graces the dinner table at holiday celebrations gets its distinct dimpled shape from being folded before baking, which helps you pull it apart for buttering. Bakery supervisor Laura Figueroa goes through about 220 Parker House rolls per day, selling them by the dozen at the hotels’ two dining venues, Parker’s Restaurant and the Last Hurrah." - Adam H.
