Fructose Free Classic Pretzel Rolls

Chewy on the outside, pillowy in the middle, and finished with a generous shower of coarse salt — these pretzel rolls deliver that deeply satisfying bakery experience right from your own oven. Managing fructose intake often means scrutinizing every packaged bread for hidden sweeteners, fruit-derived ingredients, or high-fructose additives, but this recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward. The only sugar called for is a small amount of granulated sugar used to activate the yeast and balance the boiling bath — nothing sneaky, nothing excessive. The real magic here comes from baking the baking soda before using it in the water bath, a simple trick that produces that signature dark, glossy crust and bold pretzel flavor without any extra ingredients. Each roll gets shaped by hand, briefly simmered, egg-washed, and scored before hitting a hot oven, so the process is as satisfying as the result. They come out with a crackly crust that softens just slightly as they cool, making them ideal alongside soups, as sandwich rolls, or eaten warm with a little butter.
