These Soft Pretzel Rolls are a great option to serve to the boys when they come over to watch a match. Paired with a cold beer, these soft and chewy pretzels are a total score! The kitchen secret to these little balls of chewy dough is the water bath process used to create a smooth and scrumptious outer layer with a soft and fluffy center. Enjoy them one bite at a time or spread some cream cheese all over!
To make Soft Pretzel Rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
In the bowl of an electric mixer combine yeast, oil, milk and water.
Add the salt and 2 cups flour, gradually adding the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough for about 3-4 minutes until soft, slightly stiff and less sticky.
Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap set aside for 1-2 hours to rise until doubled in volume.
Once risen, portion dough into 16 pieces and using your hands, roll into little, smooth balls.
Arrange on a lightly floured surface for about 15-20 minutes to rest.
In a 5 or 6-quart saucepan, combine water, sugar and baking soda. Bring to a boil.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Taking one ball at a time, place in your hand and pinch the bottom to form a little pucker and form a taut ball. Pinch just the end of each ball, taking care in not deflating the dough.
Place 3-4 dough balls in the boiling water bath and boil for 30 seconds - 1 minute on each side - a longer boil will produce a chewier roll. With a spatula, remove balls, dripping off excess water and placing onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
With a very sharp knife, cut 2-3 slices about ¼-inch deep on top of each roll.
Sprinkle coarse salt over each roll.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until deeply golden brown in color.
These soft pretzel rolls are best when eaten warm but you can still enjoy them up to 1-2 days later.
