Ingredients
Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls or Rhodes Texas Rolls
1/2 cup baking soda
coarse salt
Instructions
Place rolls on a sprayed baking sheet (far enough apart so they don’t touch while rising) and cover with sprayed plastic wrap. Let rise until almost double in size.
While rolls are rising, bring a large pot of water to a boil (3-4 quarts) add the baking Soda slowly and stir to dissolve completely. Remove wrap and place the partially risen rolls in the boiling water, 3 at a time. Boil on each side for one minute.
Place them back on sprayed baking sheets. Sprinkle with coarse salt and score the top with a sharp knife. Bake at 350 degrees F 10-12 minutes.

Can i usE parchment paper INSTEAD of SPRAYING a sheet pan?
Debbie from Rhodes
Yes, you could use parchment paper, but I would still spray it lightly with the non-stick spray so it doesn’t stick to the parchment paper. Hope that helps you!
Doug
Why the baking soda? Does the ph change from the baking soda give it the brown color?
Debbie from Rhodes
The baking soda helps the crust brown and it makes the rolls crispier. That is the difference between a pretzel and a bagel.
Denise
Yes that is exactly what turns the dough from dinner room to pretzel roll
Cheryl
While I’ll admit that these taste great, they look terrible. I followed all the directions and they turned out like little wrinkly dough lumps. ONCE YOU REMOVE THE RISEN DOUGH, IT COLLAPSES AND LOSES ALL BODY, CREATING THE LUMPY RESULT. Plus, Either 350 isn’t hot enough or 12 minutes isn’t long enough.
Debbie from Rhodes
You have let the roll over rise. You just want them to raise until ALMOST double in size. The dough will collapse if you let them over rise. It just fills with air and will collapse. If you follow the recipe, I think it will work for you. Call our Customer Satisfaction Department if you have any more questions or don’t understand the raising method. 800-876-7333

Can I use the whole white bread instead of rolls? I happen to have these. If so, how would i divide them to fit this recipe?
Debbie from Rhodes
Yes, you can thaw the loaf of bread and then divide it into 12 Dinner size rolls or into 8 and have a larger roll. Then use in the recipe as called for.
