Can I use wax paper when the recipe calls for parchment paper?

14. I have made Parket House rolls many times, always baked in a buttered Pan

I bake yeast rolls and breads all the time and have never heard of using parchment paper. It would keep the rolls from sticking to the pan, but that should not be a problem if the rolls are cooked the correct time and temp. That said, I always line my cookie sheets with parchment paper so my cookies come off the sheet easily. Plus the parchment paper can be used over and over, then when you are done baking, the cookie sheets clean up easily.

I use waxed paper when I roll out pie dough, makes clean-up easier. And I always use waxed paper to line the bottom of cake pans. When you turn the baked cake out on the cooling rack, the waxed paper comes out with the cake so the cake doesn't stick to the pan and then you just lift the waxed paper off the layer before it cools.

I keep both waxed paper and parchment paper in my pantry at all times. If you want to line your baking pan, you can use aluminum foil. That is what I used for many years before parchment paper was available in the supermarket.
