High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Pretzel Buns

Soft on the inside, deeply bronzed and chewy on the outside, these pretzel buns deliver that satisfying snap and savory crust you'd expect from a proper pretzel — no shortcuts, no mystery additives. Store-bought pretzel rolls and burger buns are notorious for sneaking in sweeteners that have no business being in bread, so making your own from scratch puts you fully in control of every ingredient. The dough comes together with just flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and butter — a clean, honest list that keeps things exactly as they should be. The real magic here is the alkaline boiling bath, made with baked baking soda, which is what gives each bun that signature dark, glossy crust and complex pretzel flavor without any additives at all. A beaten egg wash and a generous shower of coarse salt before baking push them over the top into something genuinely impressive. These are sturdy enough to hold up to a juicy burger or a pile of pulled pork, but honestly good enough to eat warm with just a little butter.
