soft pretzels
Salty knotted bread
Soft pretzels are large, chewy bread pretzels twisted into the traditional knot shape, typically sold warm from street vendors, stadiums, or mall food courts.
Unlike their crunchy snack-sized cousins, soft pretzels are meant to be eaten immediately, often with mustard or cheese dip: We grabbed soft pretzels at the ballpark.
They're associated with Philadelphia and German-American baking traditions.
