I've been making pretzels about once a month. I'm infatuated. I've recently tried to make hotdog buns and sandwich buns out of pretzel dough. It's good, but it's a little too heavy for most of the sandwiches that I'm making. Is there a way to lighten up the texture of pretzels?

I'm using Sir Alton's recipe as a baseline:

A friend of mine makes gluten free pretzel buns. She uses a spray bottle to which she adds baking soda and sprays the buns while they are cooking, flips them over. When she pulls them from the oven, she sprays them again and then sprinkles with pretzel salt. Don't know if that will help or not.
