Best Pretzels For Holiday Parties & Thanksgiving Gatherings That Foodies Will Love
Since 1931, our family-owned and operated bakery in Lancaster, PA, has been handmaking sourdough pretzels using the same traditional recipe and techniques.
Our delicate handling of the sourdough means we preserve more air pockets, ensuring every bite delivers the perfect balance of crunch and flavor, creating a pretzel experience that simply can’t be duplicated by machines.
And the result is a larger sourdough pretzel that’s light, crunchy, and airy. That makes our pretzels not only perfect for dipping but also a focal point for any charcuterie spread or snack table. For generations, our sourdough pretzels have been a regional favorite, and now, thanks to our online bakery shop, pretzel lovers across the country can enjoy them too.
What salt levels do Hammond’s pretzels come in? We offer salt finishes in unsalted, lightly salted, regular salted, salty, and extra salted, as well as dark salted sourdough pretzels.
