Sourdough Pretzel Twists
What it is
These are baked pretzel twists made with a sourdough starter. The fermentation process of sourdough gives them a distinct tangy flavor and a slightly chewy texture. They are shaped into the classic pretzel knot, making them easy to hold and snack on. The pretzels are seasoned with salt, providing a savory contrast to the bread's inherent taste. They are a popular choice for those who enjoy a more complex flavor profile in their snacks.
