German pretzels are so amazing. So, so, so amazing.
Hey everyone, Dana here!
Today talking about German soft pretzels because they are so delicious.
German pretzels come in all different kinds and varieties, from “normal” salted pretzels
like this, to salted pretzels as big as your head, to Butterbrezel, buttered pretzels,
to cheese pretzels.
There's so many kinds and they're so delicious.
So far I don't think that I have met a German pretzel that I didn't love.
Ach, du dickes Ei!
They’re so delicious.
Okay, you might be saying, but Dana, aren’t there pretzels in the U.S.? Yes, there are.
But they’re different.
In many malls in the U.S. you can get soft pretzels that are pretty freaking delicious
in their own right.
But they’re usually super greasy.
Which, okay, that is part of their charm.
Their delicious greasiness.
And you often dip them in a little container of warmed up, melty orange cheese dip.
And yeah, they’re good for sure.
But then I came to Germany and met the German soft pretzel.
And it was love at first bite.
I mean sight.
No, I mean bite.
The first “pretzel” that I had in Germany, though, wasn’t actually a traditional pretzel-pretzel.
It was a pretzel roll.
A delicacy that I didn’t even realize existed in the world before I stepped foot into Germany.
It’s not a roll.
It’s not a pretzel.
It’s a pretzel roll. Where roll meets pretzel. The pretzel roll!
Stefan and I went out on a mission.
We went to several different bakeries around town and bought a bunch of different kinds
of pretzels.
But full disclosure here: we could have bought more.
We could have bought many more.
What I have to show here today is just a fraction of all the different kinds of pretzels that we
saw going to just a couple bakeries around Munich.
So this here what I've got is a small sample.
I can only imagine that there are so many different kinds of pretzels out there.
If you are a pretzel fan like me and you feel like sharing your pretzel picture, share it
with the hashtag #PretzelsAreAmazing so that I can see it!
I want to see all the different kinds of pretzels that exist out there in the world.
Because we have here today, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
And I know there are more.
Okay, so what do we have.
The pretzel.
German soft pretzel.
With, ah, there's a few bits of salt on here.
I think some people are going to say this doesn't have enough salt.
Then we also have this, which is also a "normal" pretzel.
It's a little fancier.
The bottom part here has a braid in it.
Auf Deutsch ein Zopf. Der, die, das Zopf? - Der Zopf. - Der Zopf. So ein Zopf.
So this one no Zopf, this one has a Zopf. You can also see it from the back.
Then we've got what Stefan calls the big-ass pretzel.
I call it a pretzel as big as your head.
But I see now it's actually I think bigger than my head, isn't it?
I can see through the pretzel. Hello!
The cheese pretzel!
So this is a pretzel with cheese überbacken...um, melted on top.
It's like a stained glass window.
It's a stained glass window of cheese.
Oh my gosh, that sounds wonderful. Like stained glass windows are beautiful.
But this is a stained glass window pretzel with cheese.
The butter pretzel. A "normal" salted pretzel with butter in the middle.
If you can see here some of the butter is coming out.
Then we've got, this is called a Brezelzopf, is that correct?
Yeah, so Zopf is braid, and so this is what I was calling the pretzel roll.
But in a braided form.
And then we also have here a pretzel roll that's in a stick form.
Um, in German this is called a Laugenstange.
So it's a, yeah, a pretzel stick.
And on here we've got Kürbiskerne...pumpkin seeds.
Then we have this beautiful pretzel creation, which I was told is called a pretzel rose.
There was also a pretzel ring, which didn't have this middle one.
But we went for the pretzel rose, which also has the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds,
poppy seeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds, more sesame seeds and cheese.
And then, now we have something very special.
I give you the pretzel croissant.
Yes that's right.
It's not a pretzel.
It's not a croissant.
It's a pretzel croissant. What more do you want in life? Like, this is a pretzel croissant. Really.
Not only does this look delicious, but if you ask me I think it looks pretty cute.
Like, aw it's so cute! It's a pretzel croissant. I think it's adorable.
Let me know down in the comments, do you think this is adorable?
I think it's super adorable. Maybe that's just me.
So my question for you is: are you a pretzel fan?
What is your favorite kind of pretzel? I know, I know it's hard.
Because there's so many good ones.
Maybe, like, make a top 5 list or something.
