The Bavarian pretzel, or "Brezel," is a traditional German baked treat known for its golden-brown crust, chewy texture, and distinctive knotted shape. Its ingredients typically include flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of malt or sugar for flavor. Before baking, the pretzel is briefly dipped in a lye solution, which gives it its signature color and subtly crisp exterior. While originating in Bavaria, this iconic snack has become a staple of German cuisine and a centerpiece at Oktoberfest celebrations. Nutritionally, Bavarian pretzels provide a quick source of carbohydrates and some protein from the flour. However, they are often high in sodium due to the coarse salt sprinkled on top, making moderation key. Enjoyed plain, with mustard, or alongside a hearty soup, Bavarian pretzels remain a satisfying and flavorful indulgence best paired with a balanced diet.
