PRETZEL CHALLAH BUNS



Pretzel Challah Buns image

These buns are sweet eggy soft challah on the inside with a beautiful brown pretzel shell. They're fluffy and lovable; the flavor is out of this world.

Time 4h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 cups (448 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) instant yeast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (178 grams) warm water, 105 to 110 degrees F
1/3 cup (66 grams) flavorless oil, plus more for the bowl
2 large eggs
1 cup (230 grams) baking soda
1 large egg beaten with a splash of water, for the egg wash
Coarse pretzel salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the challah buns: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Whisk to combine. In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, oil and eggs. Beat to mix and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir to form a dough. Knead either in the stand mixer or by hand on a floured surface, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking, until smooth and just slightly sticky, 7 to 10 minutes. Grease the inside of a large clean bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl. Cover with a towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
  • For the baking soda bath: While the dough is rising, bake the baking soda. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Spread the baking soda out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Let it cool and set it aside (even though the baked baking soda isn't as strong as lye, it could potentially irritate your skin, so avoid touching it once it's out of the oven).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Split the dough into 8 equal portions and keep it covered when you're not working with it. Working with one piece of dough at a time, stretch it into a ball by tucking the top surface under and pinching to seal, then place it on a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough pieces, placing them 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 20 more minutes.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the baked baking soda in a large bowl or casserole dish and add 2 cups (472 grams) of water. Stir it to dissolve the baking soda. (I've never been able to get all of it to dissolve, so a few baking soda chunks are totally ok as long as they don't stick to the dough.)
  • For the topping: Using gloved hands or tongs and working in batches, immerse the rolls in the baking soda bath for about 2 minutes on both sides. Pat them dry with a paper towel and place them back on the baking sheet. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse pretzel salt. Cut 2 shallow slits in an X shape on top and bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 16 minutes.

  • In a medium glass or Pyrex bowl or measuring cup, place the yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ½ cup lukewarm water. Proof the yeast: it should show signs of life by expanding, slightly bubbling, or moving. If none of these things happened, your yeast is dead. Spill it out and start again.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, on medium-low speed, mix the 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 cups water, fine sea salt, and oil. This can also be done by hand with a whisk.
  • When the yeast has been “proofed” and shows signs that it is alive, beat the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl. With the mixer at a low speed, add the flour. Raise speed to medium and knead for 4–5 minutes until a nice, smooth, satiny dough forms. It will have almost a matte finish. If you are kneading in the flour by hand, it may take a few minutes longer to get a good smooth texture. Cover the bowl of dough with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 11/2 hours or until doubled in size.
