Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather all the ingredients. Prep work is key to making this go smoothly.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together warm water and yeast. Let sit for a minute or so.
- 3
Whisk in the salt, brown sugar, shortening, and butter flavoring (if desired.) Whisk until well blended. NOTE: while trying for an emulsion, it is perfectly fine to have broken up bits of shortening in the bowl.
- 4
Using wooden spoon, or dough hook, gradually add flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is not the consistency of paste, and has a slight spring to it.
- 5
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for three minutes.
- 6
Lightly cover with cloth, and let rise 10 minutes.
- 7
While dough is rising, prepare Soda bath on stove top and bring to a boil. Preheat oven to 400F.
- 8
Once dough has risen, deflate and flatten it slightly. Cut into long strips. A pizza cutter works well at this point.
- 9
Cut the long strips into smaller squares.
- 10
Roll each square into a ball and set aside. Repeat until dough is used up.
- 11
In batches of four or five, place dough balls into soda bath for around 30-45 seconds. Lift out with slotted spoon, drain, and set on parchment lined cookie sheet.
- 12
Repeat step 11 until all dough balls are done.
- 13
Wash each dough ball with egg white, and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
- 14
Bake for approximately 17 - 19 minutes, until deep golden brown with a hard shell crust.
