Pretzels are a baked bread snack with a distinctive knot-like shape, made from dough that is boiled or treated with an alkali solution before being baked to give it a crunchy, glossy, and brown crust.
They come in two main varieties: large, chewy soft pretzels, often served warm with dips like mustard or cheese, and smaller, crisp hard pretzels that are a popular snack. icon
