Homemade pretzel rolls are a great flavorful bread roll that goes great with any meal. These rolls taste just like a pretzel. They are made with classic yeast dough, then boiled in a mixture of boiling water and baking soda. They are so fluffy with a golden browned outside and topped with salt. Serve with any meal for delicious bread. You can also make these rolls larger for a sandwich roll instead.

The dough for these rolls is made with a classic yeast dough. After the dough has risen, it is divided into 12 rolls and rolled into round balls. Place each roll, two at a time in a mixture of boiling water and baking soda. This baking soda bath will give the rolls the traditional pretzel flavor. Place the rolls onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and bake until golden browned.
