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
