Pretzel (Twist)
The process of creating the traditional pretzel flavor is a preservation technique originally intended to extend the life of the bread. After the Dough is mixed, it is rested and then shaped by hand. When it has finished its proof, it is dipped in food grade lye and placed in an oven where it is steamed and baked. This process leads to a shiny dark caramel color with a distinctive pretzel flavor.

Our Process
At Kraftsmen we source the finest unbleached and unbromated flours which are gently mixed to retain their delicate flavors.
After mixing, doughs are given a rest to hydrate and develop more flavor before they are then shaped by hand and baked.
Breads
Most Kraftsmen artisan breads use a starter that adds a depth of flavor and essential leavening agents. Without these hard-working natural yeasts, our bread would not have its artisan quality or unique flavors.
Bagels & Pretzels
All of our bagels and pretzels are shaped by hand then quickly dipped in lye—which gives each its signature chewy crust, deep brown color, and shine—before baking in the oven
