Spray a baking sheet or oven-safe casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Evenly space the frozen Parkerhouse rolls about 1" apart. Follow directions on Bridgford Parkerhouse rolls for thawing rolls or see notes on how to defrost frozen dough.
When rolls are thawed, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick cooking oil on the side facing the rolls. Let rise until doubled in size, about an hour.

Preheat oven to 375º F. Bake Parkerhouse Rolls for 10-14 minutes, or until rolls are golden on top.
Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer's directions. Use a baking pan that allows about 2" of space on all sides of the air fryer so that hot air can circulate.
Air fry Parkerhouse Rolls at 350ºF for 8-10 minutes, or until rolls are golden on top.
Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

Thawing it fast is as easy as your oven. Add Parkerhouse rolls frozen to your prepared baking sheet or casserole.
Then, set the oven to 100°F. Check every 30 minutes, until you see the dough has thawed. They will be cool to the touch but softened.
Allow an additional 1-2 hours for the Parkerhouse-style rolls to rise until doubled in size.
With these simple directions, your dinner rolls will taste just like freshly baked rolls.

Thaw Frozen Dough:

Defrost frozen dough rolls effortlessly in the refrigerator overnight. Place the frozen rolls on an oil sprayed casserole dish or sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking oil on the side facing the dough. Don’t skip this last step, or you’ll wind up with a sticky mess. Let defrost in the refrigerator overnight, or for 8 - 10 hours.
For a quicker, but just as easy method, defrost the frozen rolls on your counter at room temperature or in the oven at 85º to 100ºF. Place the frozen rolls in an oil sprayed casserole dish or sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking oil on the side facing the dough. Don’t skip this last step or you’ll wind up with a sticky mess. Let defrost for 1-2 hours. The rolls should still be cold but soft to the touch.

**This recipe can be easily adjusted to make as few as two rolls. Just adjust the butter, but leave the rising and baking times the same.

Reheating Instructions:

Reheating in the microwave: Cover the Parkerhouse rolls with a damp, clean paper towel. Then, microwave in 15-second increments (up to 45 seconds total), until just warmed through.
In the oven: Place your yeast rolls on a sheet pan, and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350°F. for 7 to 10 minutes.
Reheating rolls in an air fryer: If you'd like, brush a little additional melted butter over them first. Then, wrap them in foil and crimp/seal the edges closed.
If your air fryer has a bake mode, select that, and bake at 300°F. for 7 minutes.
