Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
• 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ⅓ cup baking soda
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
2. • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
   • Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the Rolls:
4. • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Baking Soda Bath:
6. • In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda (it will bubble up).
   • Using a slotted spoon, gently lower each dough ball into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place back on the baking sheet.
7. Bake the Rolls:
8. • Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
   • Use a sharp knife to score an “X” on the top of each roll.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are deep golden brown.
