Brezn (Bavarian pretzel) · Munich
Lye-dipped pretzel with a dark mahogany crust and a soft, salty interior. Munich's universal accompaniment to beer, Weisswurst and Obatzda.
The pretzel, derived from monastic baking of the early Middle Ages, took its Bavarian form (Brezn) by the 19th century, with the distinctive lye dip giving the dark crust. Munich's Brezn is wider and softer than the northern Pretzel; it sits at every breakfast table, every beer-garden counter, and accompanies every Weisswurst order in the city.
