Brezen, also known as pretzel in English, is a popular baked snack with origins in German and Alsatian cuisine. Traditionally shaped into a loop or knot, it is made from flour, water, yeast, and salt, with a characteristic surface created by briefly boiling the dough in a baking soda solution before baking. Brezen is celebrated for its soft, chewy texture and lightly crisp crust, often sprinkled with coarse salt. While it is a source of energy due to its carbohydrates, Brezen is low in fat and contains minimal sugar, making it a lighter snack option for some. However, sodium content can be high due to the generous salt topping. Customizable with seeds, cheese, or sweet glazes, Brezen is versatile but best enjoyed in moderation if watching sodium intake or seeking nutrient density. Often paired with hearty dips or soups, it remains a beloved staple across Central Europe.
