How German pretzels are made

How do you like pretzels? 🥨

I adore pretzels. I’ve always wanted to go to Germany and I’d love to try every pretzel shop I could go to!

Bavarian ones are the best

Diese Brezeln machen mich durstig

too salty

If only Germany could send those to Gaza instead of the other stuff to the Non-Gaza. Talk about stuck in the old ways!!

The pretzel is an old European symbol that has become associated with bakeries. The origin of the pretzel goes back to 610 AD in an area near Aosta, Italy.
The legend goes like this:

A young monk was preparing unleavened bread for Lent, the Christian period of fasting and penitence before Easter. Christians of the day prayed with their arms folded across their chests, each hand on the opposite shoulder. It occurred to him that he could twist the leftover dough from the bread into this shape and use it as a treat for the children to recite their prayers. He named his creation “pretiola,” Latin for “little reward.” The three holes represented the Holy Trinity. 610 AD! Get your facts strait.

pretzels from Minga; the best, super😊

The lye must be at least four times as strong as the last time you tried it. You heard it from a south German. Nobody except bakers in Bavaria get that right.

Is the salt in here better than in seaweed?

Is there a reason for margarine and not butter?

Das St.-Brezelius-Institut empfiehlt, jeden Tag mindestens eine Brezel zu essen.

Nothing iconic.

For starters, how about learning the name correctly? The first letter should actually be a b, not a p. So it is bretzel (or brezel). When it comes to the pronunciation, this can vary locally, but I believe that breet-zel or brett-zel is most common in Germany...

What’s a lye roll?

I was having the Swabian pretzels for a year and didn’t know they were Swabian and always wondered why they tasted so different. 😅

sadly no good pretzels to be found in India, where I live

“Master baker” 😅

Had a Swabian pretzel recently. It has both crunchy parts and soft chewy parts! A great experience

They use margarine 😞😞😞

👍👌💪😋.
Germany ❤

The pretzels in Munich are unbelievable. I wish I could find them in the US.

Brezl, Brezn, Breze, this is the real Word!

Bretzl!! And not online in Bavaria.

The only real Brezel is the swabian one. Soft body and crunchy arms.

The top is the one who penetrates and the bottom is the one receiving.

I tried pretzels back home, but my favorite is with cinnamon sugar, it's so sweet.

❤🥨❤❤

it's strange to see it as a bit of a staple...i've always seen it as a niche specialty snack and since i don't visit malls and am afraid of the high price of the warm movie theater pretzels i haven't had one in over ten years....though i've had the little crunchy ones in bowls...i wonder if those would be considered freakish in germany?

I miss Germany 🇩🇪 so much!

It’s comes from transportation. They carried them on sticks along the walk through town when selling pretzels. It’s like saying muffins are made with a top for a reason when it reality it’s a product of how it’s baked nothing more nothing less

I absolutely love the German language. Gonna learn it one day. Not to much of a lofty desire for a guy in the south side of Chicago. 😊

mr Andong has a recipe in his channel, cheers from Mexico 🌮🌶🥑🍅😻

The lye is essential to rise the pH which speed up the maillard reaction that gives the dark color

Finally.

Are there any German housewives, baking masters in the chat?! Please give us the exact recipe for real pretzel! I really want to try it!😊

Now this made me crave for one! 🥨

I love pretzels, especially with the HB beer🍻
