Our pretzel making process
- 1The dough is mixed then taken onto a cart to the rolling table
- 2The dough is kneaded and cut
- 3The dough is rolled into log-shaped pieces
- 4The dough logs are run through a cutter which scores the dough into individual pieces
- 5The pretzel rollers tear off one piece of dough at a time and roll it to about 12 inches long
- 6In three swift moves, the pretzel rollers twist the dough into the pretzel shape
- 7The formed pretzels are placed onto a wooden board
- 8The board is filled and carried and placed onto a rack
- 9While on the rack, the pretzels are allowed to rise naturally
- 10The pretzels are cooked in a hot soda bath until they rise to the top
- 11Salt is placed on a long-handled board called a peel
- 12Pretzels are placed onto the peel upside down
- 13A full peel is slid into the oven and then dumped so that the pretzels are salt-side up
- 14The pretzels travel circularly through the oven on a soapstone hearth to bake the outside of the pretzel
- 15The pretzels then move into a drying oven to slowly remove the moisture from inside the pretzel
- 16The finished pretzels are packaged into various containers and are ready for delivery
