Plus, it’s hard not to just keep eating them plain. Which is what I did.

The secret to a great pretzel or pretzel rolls is to boil them before you bake them. Boiling them in a mixture of baking soda and water for a minute or two gives them that trademark pretzel chewiness. This is the most involved step.

Then after they are boiled, brush them with egg and sprinkle with coarse salt. The egg will make them turn the pretty golden brown. Other than that it is a pretty simple yeast recipe.
