When I travel to Germany (especially to Halle (S)) I enjoy real pretzels. It's a simple treat, but I find it impossible to find pretzel bread in the US. Bake yours that traditional German way?

Yes, the pretzels are dipped in a lye bath before baking as it is customary in Germany.

There is a large selection of German specialties at Annelore's bakery, but if you only want pretzel rolls, it's best to go to Lidl. Lidl has German-style pretzels and rolls. There isn't a large selection, but it tastes very good and it's a lot cheaper than Annelore's.

You have to call the store. The bakers don't read these questions.
