Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp dry yeast
  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour (plus more for dusting the work surface)
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 Tbsp coarse kosher salt (for sprinkling)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Place the warm water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast on top. Set aside to rest until the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in the yeast mixture and mix with a dough hook until the dough is elastic and smooth
  • Place in the oiled mixing bowl, and turn the dough to coat in oil. Cover with a clean, damp dishtowel and let rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 1/3 cup each. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Allow to rise for about 30 minutes.
  • In a large dutch oven, bring 9 cups of water to a boil. Add in 1/2 cup baking soda.
  • Gently place 2-3 balls of dough at a time into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove dough to the parchment lined sheet, allow excess water to drain off.
  • Cut an X into the surface of each roll, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Brush with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle with coarse Kosher Salt.
  • Bake at 400 Degrees F. for 20-25 minutes or until a deep brown color.
