    I loved this recipe, however in my country it is difficult to acquire caustic soda. Can I substitute it for baking soda diluted in water? How much would it affect taste, color, texture if possible?

    I absolutely love the atbbq channel. And I love the idea of this video. But there are SO many unattainable things in this video. 00 flour? Only online. A wood fired oven? No one has that. A lye bath? Baking soda is so much easier and safer and again, attainable. Please please post more videos with more everyday things. And again, I say all this with love as I love the channel and am an avid baker.

    anyone else wonder what the first person was thinking when the dipped the first bread in lye water?????? Has anyone baked a batch of pretzels, half in lye, half without, same dough side by side to see what the difference really is?

    What an interesting video. I didn't know drain cleaner was the key to pretzel flavor. I guess the Norwegians dip cod fish in the same solution to make Lutefisk. Thank you.

    I love this, Chef Brit! It doesn't look like you flattened the dough balls like you did in the Brioche rolls. is it ok to smash them out a little before scoring for a lower profile roll? I'll be trying these in the oven; should I expect the rolls to expand much side to side? or mostly just up? Thanks for the content, you guys are great.

    This is soooo outta my league but what the heck let’s give it a go! Can you find these ingredients at a local grocery store or do you need to use the attbbq website?

    If you can’t find lye or don’t want to risk messing things up with it, bake a cup of baking soda at 200 degrees for an hour. It will increase the ph of the baking soda to be closer to lye.

    Great video. Working with lye it should be mentioned to make sure you always add the lye to the water and not water to lye as you will produce more gas that way. Also never use aluminum foil to line your tray as the lye will react with it and produce a very toxic gas.
