Preparation

Step 1

Put 1 cup warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle yeast on top. Set aside, 5 minutes. MEanwhile, combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Add flour mix to yeast mix and mix with dough hook on lowest speed until dough comes together. Increase speed to medium and continue to mix until dough is elastic and smooth, 8 minutes.
Form dough into a ball, place in large oiled bowl and turn dough to coat completely. Cover with damp towel and let rest in a warm place until doubled, 30-35 minutes. Line a baking sheet with foil, coat with cooking spray and set aside.
Punch down dough, turn out into a floured surface. Knead until smooth and springs back when poked, 1 minutes. Divide into 4 pieces and form into 5 by 3 inch oblong rolls. Place onto baking sheet and cut four 2 inch slashes diagonally across the top of each.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 and bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot.
Stir baking soda into boiling water. Add 2 rolls, boil 2 minutes per side. Remove rolls, drain and place on baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat.
Bake until golden, 12-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
