Easy homemade soft pretzels
You won’t believe just how easy these are to make!
I keep frozen dinner roll dough on hand at all times. Mostly because it is so easy to make fabulous dinner rolls. However, I have discovered a much better use for the stuff! With a simple soda water “bath”, the rolls are transformed into yummy soft pretzels.
Just use plain frozen dinner roll dough and shape it into the shape you desire. We like the pretzel sticks because they are perfect for dipping.
Use a large stock pot and good tongs for the soda bath.
I put three or four pretzel sticks in the bath and flip them over after 15 seconds. Then, I put them on a cookie cooling rack to dry. After that, slap on some egg wash and coarse salt, pop them in the oven and BAM! You have the most wonderful soft pretzels imaginable.

Ingredients
- 10 Frozen bread rolls Thawed
- 2/3 cup Baking Soda

- 1/4 Cup Coarse Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Shape thawed bread rolls into 5" ropes
- Place ropes on a baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and place them in a warm spot (I use my oven turned to 200 degrees and leave the door open) and let them rise for about one hour
- In a large stockpot bring two quarts of water to a bowl with the baking soda. Reduce heat to a slow simmer. Boil the bread ropes in batches, 15 seconds per side. Place them on a rack to drip dry.
- Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle them with coarse salt.
- Bake at 375 for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately for best flavor.
