Lye?

Have you ever tried a Bavarian soft pretzel?

Of course, and the recipe DOES have lye:

So do most American ones. You know it if they're leather brown.

The link only worked once for me then wanted a signup.
If it doesn't work, just google "pretzel lye".

I prefer using baking soda

The lye coating seems to enhance the flavor of everything you eat it with, butter, cheese dip, egg salad as pretzel bun sandwich etc.

I have traumatic childhood memories of lutefisk. I don’t mind lighter pretzels.

Perfect example for a non sequitur 😊
I tried laverbread in Wales once and regretted ir.
Not all from the sea is tasty.

Yuck! I can’t believe anyone would look at that and say I want to eat that! 🤢

Warm garlic bread sticks are amazing!

The Holiday gas stations have warm Bavarian pretzels that are so delicious! Yum!

Ooh, we have Holidays here. I should check that out. Thank you!! 😊

You’re welcome! They are only out during the day. They are gone by 4 pm. I hope you can try them! They offer a dip too. I just like butter.
