  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

For the Baking Soda Wash

  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • Then flatten into a rectangle until the dough is about a ½-¾ inch thick. Repeat the laminating process 3 times. After the last fold, form the dough into a square, about 1 ½  inches thick.

  • Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet with about 1 inch between each biscuit.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the hot water and baking soda to make the baking soda wash. Mix until the baking soda is mostly dissolved.

  • Liberally brush the biscuits with the baking soda wash. It’s ok if some of the wash is leftover.
  • Place the sheet pan with the biscuits in the freezer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Once the biscuits have chilled, brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
