A pretzel is a type of baked bread product traditionally shaped into a twisted knot, known for its chewy texture, glossy brown crust, and distinctive salty flavour. In simple terms, a pretzel is a versatile snack that can be enjoyed soft and warm or crisp and crunchy, making it a favourite across both casual and gourmet settings.
Here’s why it’s so popular: pretzels offer the perfect balance of texture and taste—slightly crisp on the outside, soft or crunchy inside, and often finished with coarse salt or creative toppings.
