Bavarian pretzels, also known as Brezn, are a traditional German snack originating from the Bavaria region. They are characterized by their unique knot shape and a glossy, brown crust, achieved by boiling the dough in a baking soda solution before baking. Typically made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, these pretzels have a soft, chewy interior. Often enjoyed with mustard or cheese, Bavarian pretzels are popular at festivals, beer gardens, and street fairs. They are commonly paired with German beer, making them a staple in Bavarian cuisine. Their distinct flavor and texture make them a beloved treat worldwide.
