Method
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and melted butter. Add the yeast mixture and warm milk, then stir until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rest for an hour.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Form each piece into a smooth ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop each roll into the water for about 30 seconds per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them back to the baking sheet.
- Brush the boiled rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top. Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding toppings like sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning. Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage. Ensure they are well-wrapped to maintain freshness. Brushing the baked rolls with melted butter right after they come out of the oven gives them a beautiful finish and enhances their soft texture. If you're making a double batch, freeze any extras after they cool completely for quick snacks or meals later on. Happy baking!
