Ingredients
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add melted butter and flour. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line baking sheets with parchment. Bring water and baking soda to a rolling boil.
Divide dough into 8 pieces, roll into ropes, and cut into 1-inch bites. Boil bites in soda bath for 30 seconds, then transfer to baking sheets.
Whisk egg with water. Brush bites with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until deep golden brown. Serve warm.
