Recipe: {Bread Maker} Pretzel Rolls



Hello.  My name is Wende and I am addicted to Pinterest.  It has been minutes since my last pin. 

I came across this pin for the most amazing looking pretzel rolls. They looked so yummy that I had to make the right away.  Now, these rolls have a few extra steps, but they are worth every extra step!  The rolls are the perfect pretzel texture on the outside and soft goodness on the inside.  I made some with salt and some without and my family preferred the salted version better.  We couldn't wait to try these, so as soon as they came out of the oven, we were ready to make them into sandwiches.  Who knew a plain ham and cheese could taste this good all because of a pretzel roll?  

Enjoy!


Pretzel Rolls
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 pkg yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Kosher or pretzel salt

Instructions
  1. Pour warm water in bread machine pan.
  2. Add yeast and sugar and allow to proof, about 15 minutes. It will be foamy when it is ready.
  3. Add melted butter, flour and salt.
  4. Set the cycle to dough.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Once the cycle is complete, pour the dough out onto a floured surface.
  7. Knead a few times then cut into 18 pieces, about 2 ounces each.
  8. Pull the sides up, bringing them to the middle and pinch together to form a ball.
  9. Flip the ball over, pinched side down. Cup your hand over the dough and roll it into a smooth ball between your hand and work surface.
  10. Place the dough onto the baking sheet, cover and allow to rise for about 30 minutes.
  11. After 15 minutes, bring two quarts of water to boil.
  12. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  13. Once the 30 minutes are complete and the water has come to a boil, add the baking soda to the water. Turn the heat down so the water is simmering.
  14. Place the dough, one or two at a time, into the water.
  15. Cook on each side for 30 seconds.
  16. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon allowing as much water to drain off of the dough ball.
  17. Once all the balls have been cooked in the water bath, brush each one with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with salt.
  18. Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

  21. How large should the rolls be after rising for 30 minutes? Mine did not get much bigger at all. I would normally need to let bread rise for a couple hours?
