Steps

Philly Pretzel Roll

1. Preheat oven to 425F. In a large straight-sided pan or wok bring water to a boil. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Divide the dough into two 8-ounce pieces. Roll each piece of dough evenly into a 12-inch log. Tie each log into a knot, making sure there is an even amount of dough at each end.
3. Reduce water to a simmer and stir in the baking soda. Add the pretzels to the simmering water and blanch 30 seconds a side. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon, allow excess water to drain off, and place on the prepared sheet tray. Sprinkle the pretzel rolls with coarse sea salt and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the top and bottom of the rolls.
