A pretzel-shaped pastry popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The pretzel is a classic snack for folk festivals like Oktoberfest or weekend fairs. This pretzel is also sold in almost any street stall, so it can safely be called one of the pillars of German street food. Depending on the region, the pretzel undergoes various modifications: Swabian pretzels, for example, have a thick arch and very thin ends, while the Bavarian has the same proportions. Before boiling the pretzel in boiling soda, you need to freeze the dough significantly, otherwise the pretzel will lose its shape.
