Common questions

What exactly is in the Black Sesame Filled Soft Pretzel?

French T65 bread flour, levain (flour, water), black sesame paste, butter, sugar, honey, milk powder, heavy cream, black sesame seeds, sea salt, food-grade lye (for pretzel bath). That's the whole list — raised on our own hand-fed levain. Contains wheat, milk, sesame.

Why does it arrive frozen?

Every bake is baked fully overnight, then flash-frozen at its peak the same morning. Freezing pauses it at the exact moment it left the oven — a few minutes of reheating brings that moment back.

How do I reheat it?

3–4 min at 325°F if you want the shell snappy again. Fine at room temperature.

How should I store it?

Airtight tin on the counter, up to a week — these are the road-trip survivors of the lineup.

What is the best way to enjoy it?

Snack straight, or dip — whipped avocado, hummus, soft cheese. Built for the lunchbox.
