How to Make Pretzel Rolls
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 1 large egg to the yeast mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Gradually add 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup brown sugar to the boiling water.
- Gently drop the pretzel balls into the boiling water, 3-4 at a time, for 30 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Brush the pretzel rolls with melted butter and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
