I made Pretzels at home but used baking soda instead of lye. Is baking soda fine? Suggestions Welcome 🙂
I was not aware that Pretzels are called Brezels in Germany. Thank you for educating me.

Looks good. Hard to say more without tasting them. Call them Brezn and you have the stamp of approval from Bavaria 😁
Lye or “Lauge” is in the German word for Pretzel (Laugenbrezel). I’m not a baker and haven’t made pretzels myself but going by that fact alone it would surprise me if it’s an ingredient you can just switch out. 😅 Might still taste good but I would think it just isn’t a typical Brezel then.
Missed out on calling them brezn, but definitely looks tasty, for the first time! 😁
