National Soft Pretzel Week

April 21-27

National Soft Pretzel Week lands in late April, a perfect excuse to twist, boil, and bake. Expect mall-stand and beer-garden energy at home: malty dough, a quick alkaline bath (baking soda or food-grade lye), and a deep mahogany crust with a tender chew. Sprinkle pretzel salt, sesame, or cinnamon sugar; serve with spicy mustard, beer cheese, or Obatzda. Bake at high heat and brush with butter for sheen. Experiment with shapes—classic twists, knots, sticks, bites, and buns for sandwiches. Batch-freeze parbaked pretzels, then reheat for game-day snacks and lunchbox bites all week long.
