Ingredients

1. 1 Cup milk
2. 1 1/4-Ounce package active dry yeast
3. 1 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
4. 2-1/2 Cups all purpose flour
5. 1 tsp fine salt
6. 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
7. 1/2 Cup baking soda
8. 1/4 Cup coarse salt
9. 1 Large egg

Instructions

1. Warm milk to 110 degrees, pour into a medium bowl and sprinkle with yeast then let soften for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and set aside until foamy, roughly 5 minutes or so.
2. Combine flour and fine salt in bowl you will mix in (if you have a stand mixer make sure you are using a dough hook). With the mixer on low speed, add the yeast mixture and warm butter. Mix until dough is slightly smooth and soft but still sticky. Coat a large bowl with cooking spray add dough, cover and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size (about an hour).
3. Turn dough out onto floured surface. Stretch it into a 16 inch long log, cut into even sections (this will all depend on the size of the buns you want to make). Stretch each section out to roughly 6 inches, wind into a coil and tuck the end underneath. Transfer the rolls to a greased baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. After 15 minutes at room temperature refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow it to slightly puff.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large pot with about 3 inches of water. Add baking soda and a 1/4 of course salt and bring to a boil. Add half the rolls to cook until slightly puffed up about a minute, flipping half way through. Re-coat baking sheet and place rolls back on it. Brush beaten egg on the rolls and sprinkle with coarse salt.
5. Bake until golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool down for about 10 minutes.
