Pregnancy Friendly Classic Pretzel Rolls

Chewy on the outside, pillowy in the middle, and finished with a generous shower of coarse salt — these pretzel rolls hit every craving that tends to strike hard during pregnancy. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward: real butter, simple flour, active dry yeast, and an egg wash that gives each roll that gorgeous deep-brown crust. One clever technique here is baking the baking soda before adding it to the boiling bath, which intensifies the classic pretzel flavor and color without requiring any specialty ingredients that might be tricky to vet. Everything in this recipe is fully cooked — the rolls go through a simmering bath and a hot oven — so there's no concern about raw or underprocessed dough. The egg wash is baked on at high heat, which takes care of that as well. Warm from the oven with a little extra butter, these are the kind of homemade rolls that make the whole house smell incredible and disappear almost immediately off the cooling rack.
