Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add baking soda.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a ball; shape into bites.

Boil the bites in batches for 30 seconds, then remove and drain on a towel.

Brush each bite with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.

Let cool slightly before serving with mustard or cheese dip.
