What it is
A pretzel roll is a type of bread roll that is shaped like a pretzel and made from a yeast-leavened wheat dough. The dough is typically boiled briefly in a baking soda solution before baking, which gives the pretzel its characteristic brown crust and chewy texture.
Why it's used
Pretzel rolls are often used as a base for sandwiches, particularly those with hearty fillings like pastrami or roast beef. They can also be served as a side with meals or used for appetizers, such as mini hot dogs wrapped in pretzel dough.
Health notes
Pretzel rolls are a source of carbohydrates and can contain sodium, depending on preparation. The FDA considers wheat flour, a primary ingredient, to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many common bread ingredients. Evidence does not link typical consumption of plain pretzel rolls to adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Pretzel rolls contain wheat, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. They may also contain sesame if seeds are added to the crust. Gluten is present.
