pretzel bun

Knotted bread roll

A pretzel bun is a hamburger or sandwich roll made from pretzel dough—chewy, dense, and dark brown with a distinctive alkaline tang from the lye or baking soda bath that gives pretzels their character.

The surface is typically shiny and may be sprinkled with coarse salt: I'll take my burger on a pretzel bun.
