The Adventures of Paul and Sue

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tbs sugar
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup butter
• olive oil
• 9 cups water
• 2/3 cup baking soda
• 1 large egg yolk beaten
• Salt to taste
• Rosemary to taste

1. In a large bowl Combine water, sugar and yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes or until the yeast is foamy. While you wait for the yeast to rise, melt the butter completely in a saucepan.
2. Add the flour and butter and mix until well combined, once the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl kneed the dough until soft a mate finish is on the outside and it’s totally combined and soft.
3. Remove dough from bowl and coat the inside of the bowl with a thin layer of oil, then return the dough to the bowl. Cover with a tea bowl and let rise for about an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring the water and baking soda to a boil. Once the dough is done rising; flour a flat surface and roll dough into small balls (they won’t rise in the oven so make them desired size). Drop each roll into the baking soda bath for about 20 to 30 seconds and place them on an oiled baking sheet.
5. Brush the beaten egg yolk on each roll and then add salt and rosemary to taste. Bake for 12 minutes.
