Servings: 36 rolls
- 1 (48 oz) bag Rhodes Dinner Rolls frozen
- 10 cups water
- 2/3 cup baking soda
- 1 egg yolk
- coarse salt for topping
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.
