Ingredients

  • 1 (48 oz) bag Rhodes Dinner Rolls frozen
  • 10 cups water
  • 2/3 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg yolk
  • coarse salt for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with 10 cups of water, then mix in the baking soda and bring the water to a boil.
  • Working in batches of five, drop each frozen roll into the boiling water for 60 seconds, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls.
  • Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water, then evenly brush the egg yolk mixture over the boiled rolls.
  • Sprinkle the rolls with coarse sea salt, then take a small knife and score an “x” on the surface of each roll.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are dark in color.
  • Although best served warm, these rolls may be cooled to room temperature and stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
