Lye Rolls

I wanted to show you the result of me trying to make lye rolls (for the first time) today, a very German sort of pastry that is supposed to be turned magically into nice, round rolls while baking... well, you see my version here. =)
But I can calm you down: they taste lovely. (Lye rolls taste like salty soft white rolls, like pretzels actually - It's the same dough.)
