**Super Soft Pretzel Rolls Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 and 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F)
– 1 packet active dry yeast (2 and 1/4 teaspoons)
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/3 cup baking soda
– Coarse salt, for topping
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
**Instructions:**
1. In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda, which will cause the water to foam up slightly.
7. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and use your fingers to poke a hole through the center, stretching it to form a ring shape.
8. Carefully drop each pretzel roll into the boiling water, one or two at a time, for about 30 seconds. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the rolls with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
10. Bake the pretzel rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have a slightly crusty exterior.
11. Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these Super Soft Pretzel Rolls warm with your favorite dip, sandwich filling, or simply on their own!
