Categories     side-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups whole milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1/3 cup dark-brown sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope active dry yeast
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
Sea salt, for sprinkling
1/2 cup baking soda

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.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon yeast
6 cups water
3 tablespoons baking soda
1 egg white
1 tablespoon kosher salt

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.

Conclusion:

Laugenbrotchen, or pretzel rolls, are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
