Mix together brown sugar, salt, and yeast in big bowl.
-
Mix together oil and water and add this to the sugar and yeast mix.
-
Add the flour and mix to a nice doughy (not sticky) consistency. Knead with mixer a few minutes.
-
Divide dough into 12 balls and shape into rolls (I like long oval shapes) and let rise on greased foil cover sheet for 20-30 minute until nice and puffy. (I raise mine in a warmed oven--preheat to lowest setting then turn OFF, THEN put in the dough to rise).
-
Meanwhile, bring water and baking soda to a SIMMER in a wide pan with straight sides and preheat oven to 375.
-
Place 4 rolls in the water and simmer 1 minute then flip and simmer 1 minute more.
-
Drain and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls.
-
Brush rolls with egg white and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Slash decoratively with a SHARP blade.
-
Bake until 'pretzel' brown, about 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
