A  pretzel  ( German :  Brezel ) is a type of  baked  bread product made from  dough  most commonly found in a unique  knot -like shape, often claimed to represent hands in  prayer . Pretzels originated in  Europe , most likely among  monasteries  in the  Early Middle Ages . The traditional pretzel shape is a distinctive symmetrical looped form, with the ends of a long strip of dough intertwined and then twisted back into itself in a certain way ("a pretzel loop"). Now, pretzels of various shapes are available around the world.  Salt  is the most common seasoning for pretzels, complementing the  baking soda  or  lye   treatment  that gives pretzels their traditional "skin" and flavor through the  Maillard reaction ; other seasonings include  sugars ,  glazes ,  seeds , and/or  nuts .

History [ edit ] Pretzels from Nancy, by Jacob Fobsen Van Es  (1596–1666)

There are numerous accounts on the origin of pretzels, as well as the origin of the name; most agree that they have Christian backgrounds and were invented by German monks. According to The History of Science and Technology , by Bryan Bunch and Alexander Hellemans, in 610 AD "...an Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers. He calls the strips of baked dough, folded to resemble arms crossing the chest, 'pretiola' ("little rewards")". However, no source is cited to back up these details. Another source locates the invention in a monastery in southern France.[1] [2] [3]  The looped pretzel may also be related to a Greek ring bread, derived from communion bread used in monasteries a thousand years ago[when? ].[4]  In Germany there are stories that pretzels were the invention of desperate bakers held hostage by local Dignatories. [5]  Meyers Konversations-Lexikon  from 1905 suspects the origin of pretzels in a ban of heathen baking traditions, such as in the form of a sun cross , at the Synod of Estinnes in the year 743. The pretzel may have emerged as a substitute.[6]  The German name "Brezel " may derive also from Latin  bracellus  (a medieval term for "bracelet"),[7]  or bracchiola  ("little arms").

The pretzel has been in use as an emblem of bakers and formerly their guilds  in southern German areas since at least the 12th century.[5]  A 12th-century illustration in the Hortus deliciarum  from the southwest German Alsace  region (today France) may contain the earliest depiction of a pretzel.

Within the Catholic Church , pretzels were regarded as having religious significance for both ingredients and shape. Pretzels made with a simple recipe using only flour and water could be eaten during Lent,[8]  when Christians were forbidden to eat eggs, lard, or dairy products such as milk and butter. As time passed, pretzels became associated with both Lent and Easter. Pretzels were hidden on Easter morning just as eggs are hidden today, and are particularly associated with Lent , fasting, and prayers before Easter .[9]

Like the holes in the hubs of round Swedish flat bread (which let them be hung on strings), the loops in pretzels may have served a practical purpose: bakers could hang them on sticks, for instance, projecting upwards from a central column, as shown in a painting by Job Berckheyde (1630–93) from around 1681.[10]
