Bring water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces.

Drop dough pieces into boiling water for about 10 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and allow water to drip away.
Place the dough on a prepared baking pan, then brush each bite with egg yolks followed by a sprinkle of salt.
