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!

So, how to make Soft Pretzel Rolls?

Steps to make Soft Pretzel Rolls

1

Combine wet ingredients

2

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine yeast, oil, milk and water.

2

Add salt and flour

3

Add the salt and 2 cups flour, gradually adding the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.

3

Knead dough

3

Knead dough for about 3-4 minutes until soft, slightly stiff and less sticky.

4

Rise

1h

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap set aside for 1-2 hours to rise until doubled in volume.

5

Portion dough

2

Once risen, portion dough into 16 pieces and using your hands, roll into little, smooth balls.

6

Second rise

15

Arrange on a lightly floured surface for about 15-20 minutes to rest.

7

Prepare water bath

5

In a 5 or 6-quart saucepan, combine water, sugar and baking soda. Bring to a boil.

8

Preheat oven

5

Preheat the oven to 425 °F.

9

Prepare balls

3

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.

10

Boil rolls

8

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.

11

Slice tops of rolls

2

With a very sharp knife, cut 2-3 slices about ¼-inch deep on top of each roll.

12

Add salt

2

Sprinkle coarse salt over each roll.

13

Bake

20

Bake in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until deeply golden brown in color.

14

Serve

These soft pretzel rolls are best when eaten warm but you can still enjoy them up to 1-2 days later.
