Pretzels
Rustic pretzel sticks with a deep-brown lye crust, a clean snap and a malty, old-world aroma.
Levain-raised dough twisted by hand, finished with black sesame or matcha and red bean, and dipped in a proper lye bath.
Snack them straight from the tin or pair with dips and cheese. Baked to order, delivered next-day across California.
Why the lye bath?
True pretzels owe their deep mahogany crust and malty aroma to a brief dip in a lye bath before baking — the centuries-old Bavarian method. The lye reacts away completely in the oven, leaving only color, snap and that unmistakable pretzel flavor.
Ours start from levain-raised dough, hand-twisted and finished with black sesame, or matcha and red bean. Keep a tin for snacking, or pair them with dips and cheese.
