Soft Pretzel Rolls
Makes 8-12 depending on size
Ingredients
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
2 teaspoons salt flakes for sprinkling
410g bread flour
2 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt, unless using bread mix
250ml  water
30g butter, diced, at room temperature
Preparation
Place water, yeast, sugar into bowl. Speed 1, 37 degrees, 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Add flour, salt if using and butter.
Knead 3-4 minutes.
Place in an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled.
Line a baking tray with paper.
Knock the dough down and turn out onto a well floured mat. Knead for a minute or so.
Divide the dough into 8-12 portions. I actually did 16 the second time as I felt it was a better size.
Roll each portion into a ball and place on the lined, well floured  tray about 5cm apart. (you may need 2 trays)
Cover with glad wrap or a damp tea towel and allow to rise 20-30 minutes.
Pre heat oven to 210 degrees.
Fill a large saucepan with water, add the coarse seasalt and bring to the boil.you can add 60g of carb soda to the water. I didn't as I don't like the taste it leaves.
Place about 4 of the rolls into the simmering water, poach for about 30 seconds and turn over. Poach for another 30 seconds. Remove and place back on the tray. Repeat with the remaining rolls.
Slash top and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
Bake in pre heated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked.

Serve warm. I also froze these and they remained lovely.

They look very time consuming but aren't really. We love them with soup.
