Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; stir until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces. Roll into ropes and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Boil water mixed with baking soda in a large pot. Boil each piece for 30 seconds, then drain and place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt before baking at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden.
