Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Baking soda
- 6 cups Water (for boiling)
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Stir in salt, melted butter, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix until the dough begins to come together.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, kneading the dough for about 6-8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball to form rolls.
Carefully drop each dough ball into the boiling water-baking soda solution, cooking for 20-30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Brush each roll with beaten egg for a shiny crust, and sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the pretzel rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
