Pretzels are a special type of baked bread product, in which the dough is twisted into an attractive knot shape before baking. Unlike most baked products, which are coated with sugar, pretzels are dusted with sea salt before baking. This gives it a unique mouth-feel.


Also note that these German Pretzels are first cooked in boiling water before baking, a process that gives them a super-soft texture, which is quite captivating! Relish the pretzels warm, with a cup of Tea or Hot Chocolate .

Loved this Pretzel. Tastes even better with sea salt added to it.
