Instructions

Other than letting it rise this is the longest part…kneading. I don’t flour the surface, I just throw it on the counter and go to town for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth
Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and leave to rise for one hour
Once the dough has risen mix 2 cups warm water and baking soda in dish
Cut into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope that about a foot and a half
Twist and dip into the baking soda solution. Put on baking sheets, and let rise another 20 minutes.
