About German pretzel

The German Pretzel is a traditional baked snack originating from Germany, renowned for its distinctive twisted shape and golden-brown crust. This classic treat is made from simple ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, salt, and occasionally a touch of sugar or butter. Before baking, the dough is briefly dipped in a lye solution, giving the pretzel its characteristic chewy texture and subtle, savory flavor. Pretzels are low in fat but can be high in sodium due to the salted topping, making them a better occasional indulgence than an everyday snack. They offer quick energy from carbohydrates and are a great pairing with soups or salads. While traditional pretzels are a staple of German cuisine, variations exist worldwide, often enjoyed at beer gardens or festive gatherings. Healthier versions may include whole-grain flour for added nutrients and fiber.
