pretzel bread

Salted knotted bread

Pretzel bread is bread made with the same dough and process as soft pretzels—shaped into rolls, loaves, or buns rather than the traditional twisted knot.

The dough gets dipped in an alkaline solution before baking, giving it the characteristic dark brown crust, chewy texture, and slightly salty flavor.

Pretzel buns have become popular for sandwiches and burgers: I'll have my burger on a pretzel bun.
