Soft and Tasty Vegan Pretzel Rolls: A Step-by-Step Guide

Combine the flours in a large bowl. Positioning the salt on one side of the bowl and the yeast on the other is crucial for optimal fermentation in this recipe.
Combining the olive oil and water, I then stirred the mixture with a sturdy wooden spoon, gradually coaxing the ingredients into a rough, shaggy dough.
Gently lubricate your workspace with a thin layer of olive oil and carefully dispense the dough onto it. Work the dough for approximately 5-10 minutes, until it develops a silky, smooth texture.
The dough returns to a lightly oiled, pristine bowl, where it’s gently enveloped by a soft tea towel. Allow the dough to ferment for approximately two hours or until it has expanded to roughly double its original volume. For optimal flavor, allow your dough to rise at a leisurely pace, rather than rushing the process by placing it in an overly warm environment.
After the dough has risen for two hours, move it to a lightly floured work surface and gently deflate the yeast by pressing down with your fingertips.
Gently fold the dough onto itself, repeating this process several times to develop its texture. Next, employ a sharp blade to precision-cut the dough into eight uniform pieces.
Shape each portion of dough into a compact sphere. Balls of dough are gently placed onto a baking tray, followed by their confinement within a plastic bag. Let it rise for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 400f. Boil six cups of water in a large pot. As soon as the mixture reaches a rolling boil, quickly stir in the baking soda. It will fizz up!
Submerging each roll into the simmering liquid with a gentle touch using the slotted spoon. To prepare the rolls, submerge them in boiling water for one minute before flipping them and cooking for an additional minute.
Retreat the dough to its original position on the baking tray. Slice a precise X-shaped notch atop each roll, then liberally season with crunchy coarse sea salt.
Bake the rolls for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and radiantly shiny on top, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
