Yum! Brezeln! Ich liebe Brezeln!
Die (Laugen-) Brezel / Breze / Brez’n was invented in Germany over 900 years ago and are very popular in Southern Germany nowadays. It consists of wheat flour, salt, water, yeast and malt. Right before baking the dough is dipped into a natron soda lye (Natronlauge) to get the nice brown color - that’s why it’s called “Laugenbrezel”.
Brezeln are an important cultural import to the United States - pretzels (soft pretzels). However, the American ones that I’ve had don’t taste exactly like the ones I can buy at a bakery here. Maybe they add sugar?
