Method

In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
Stir in the flour and salt until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Lightly oil the bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly puffy.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring 6 cups of water to a gentle boil in a pot, then carefully add the baking soda.
Divide the dough into small pieces, roll into ropes, and cut into bite-size pieces.
Drop the dough pieces into the baking soda water for 20 to 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the baking sheet.
Brush the bites with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until deep golden brown, then serve warm.
