Traditional soft pretzels dipped in lye. I am mildly obsessed. Chemistry is awesome.
This is my 3rd batch in 3 days. Almost have the recipe nailed down – needs a teensy bit more tinkering to be just right. Absolutely worth all the effort!

They look amazing. Personally I prefer the Swabian variant with the thinner arms and a belly cut.
And coarse pretzel salt is a must. There is no harm in adding it. People who don’t like it can just brush it off.

I don’t know why, but I keep seeing baboon butts with these pretzels.

Those look fantastic!
I’ve bought lye but scared to use it.
