Soft Pretzels

Soft pretzels are a type of baked bread snack, traditionally shaped into a twisted knot. Made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, they are kneaded, shaped, and then briefly boiled in baking soda solution before baking. This boiling step gives them their characteristic glossy, chewy crust. Often sprinkled with coarse salt, they have a warm, satisfying flavor. Soft pretzels are popular street food and snack items, enjoyed plain or with toppings like cheese or mustard. They are appreciated for their comforting texture and savory taste.
