Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup baking soda (for boiling)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water and brown sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Add flour and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough, divide into equal pieces, and roll each into long ropes before shaping into knots.
- Boil water mixed with baking soda; drop knots in for about 30 seconds, then drain.
- Place knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
