Unlike traditional pretzels that are often heavily salted, these sourdough specials are unsalted. This difference highlights the subtle tanginess from the sourdough fermentation process.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any leftover pretzels in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the pretzels soft. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat.
