This recipe makes a ton of rolls. Each of them is about fist sized which makes them easy to eat but probably going forward in the future I would only make this many for a crowd. The water bath gives them the delicious chewy pretzel texture and a little coarse salt helps bring out the flavor of these easy to eat beauties.

Dough

1. 1 tablespoon instant yeast
2. 2 tablespoons oil (I used olive oil)
3. 2 cups warm milk, 110°F
4. 1 1/2 cups warm water, 110°F
5. 2 teaspoons salt
6. 7 cups flour

Water Bath and Extras

1. 2 quarts water
2. 3/4 tablespoon sugar
3. 1/4 cup baking soda

Instructions

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer stir together the yeast, oil, milk and water. Add the salt and the flour gradually until a soft dough is formed.
2. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
3. Portion the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece of dough into a round ball and let dough rest while the water bath is made.
4. In a saucepan bring the water, sugar and baking soda to a boil.
5. Place 2-3 dough balls in the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side and then remove the dough from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and place on lined baking sheet.
6. Using a very sharp knife or razor, slice 2-3 cuts into the top of each unbaked roll about 1/4-inch deep or so and lightly sprinkle each dough ball with coarse salt.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 425°F until the rolls are deep golden brown.
