soft pretzel

Warm knotted bread

A soft pretzel is a large, doughy pretzel with a chewy texture, typically twisted into a knot shape and sprinkled with coarse salt.

Unlike the crispy, shelf-stable kind, soft pretzels are baked fresh and eaten warm, often with mustard or cheese sauce.

They're a staple of street vendors, stadiums, and shopping malls: We grabbed soft pretzels at the ballpark.
