Pretzel Rolls

Prep Time: 20 min.
Bake Time: 12 min.
Servings: 12
Difficulty: Beginning

Such a fun roll to serve with a meal or all by itself. Makes a great snack for after school.

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.

      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!

    Why the baking soda? Does the ph change from the baking soda give it the brown color?

      The baking soda helps the crust brown and it makes the rolls crispier. That is the difference between a pretzel and a bagel.
