Steps:
- For the dough: Combine the milk and 6 tablespoons of the butter in a pot. Stir in the sugar. Scald the milk mixture slightly by heating it almost to a boil. Turn off the heat and let cool until just warm to the touch, about 10 minutes.
- Add the flour, yeast, baking soda and salt to the milk mixture in the pot and stir until well combined. Cover the pot with a dish towel and place in a warm spot in the kitchen. Let the dough rise for an hour or so. It should roughly double in size.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal parts and roll each into a neat ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a dish towel and set aside in a warm place to rise for another 20 minutes.
- For the water bath: While the dough is rising, bring a pot with 10 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the baking soda.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small pot or in the microwave.
- Working in 3 batches of 4 rolls each, drop the dough balls into the water and boil for 30 seconds. Transfer the boiled balls to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain.
- To bake the rolls: Transfer the rolls to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make a small "x" in the top of each roll. Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until deep brown, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Mix together brown sugar, salt, and yeast in big bowl.
- Mix together oil and water and add this to the sugar and yeast mix.
- Add the flour and mix to a nice doughy (not sticky) consistency. Knead with mixer a few minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 balls and shape into rolls (I like long oval shapes) and let rise on greased foil cover sheet for 20-30 minute until nice and puffy. (I raise mine in a warmed oven--preheat to lowest setting then turn OFF, THEN put in the dough to rise).
- Meanwhile, bring water and baking soda to a SIMMER in a wide pan with straight sides and preheat oven to 375.
- Place 4 rolls in the water and simmer 1 minute then flip and simmer 1 minute more.
- Drain and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls.
- Brush rolls with egg white and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Slash decoratively with a SHARP blade.
- Bake until 'pretzel' brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a digital scale to measure ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Make sure the water is lukewarm (between 105-115°F) before adding the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and the dough won't rise.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and give the rolls a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1-2 hours. This will give the yeast time to produce gas and make the dough light and airy.
- Before baking, brush the rolls with a solution of water and baking soda. This will give the rolls a shiny, golden brown crust.
- Bake the rolls at a high temperature (450°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes). This will help create a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior.
