Unlike regular bread, this is not proofed, so you can make it quickly. Warning: NaOH (food-grade lye) is caustic, so carefully read the directions before using. If you follow the directions, you can use it safely for cooking.
Using bicarbonate of soda instead of NaOH: You can make an alkaline poaching liquid (Laugenwasser) by using 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) for every 750 ml of hot water. The finish of the bread will be a bit different, but the rolls will still be tasty. Recipe by Engel
