While living in Germany for a year one of our favorite things to do was sit in Munich's beautiful beer gardens under chestnut trees and string lights while enjoying a soft pretzel. Those moments brought us such peace and happiness. When we returned to Milwaukee in 2013, we set out to recreate those amazing pretzels and bring them to our friends and family - and Milwaukee Pretzel Company was born!

What makes your pretzel so good
Wheat Flour
The workhorse. Gives the pretzel a nice dose of protein.
Rye Flour
High in nutrients and adds a rich, earthy flavor to the pretzel.
Water
A foundational ingredient. Water is responsible for triggering the baking process!
Butter
Who doesn't love butter? Butter gives the pretzel a richer flavor compared to oil.
Salt
More than just flavor! Salt is a key ingredient that increases crust color, controls yeast fermentation and strengthens the
Lye
Food safe of course! This gives the pretzel that classic tang we all know and love along with that deep, nutty brown exterior.
Yeast
Our pretzels wouldn't have a pillowy interior without it!
Malt
Adds a hint of sweetness along with contributing to the texture.
