Products & Services

The secrets to successful pretzel preparation: Skill, timing, and a whole lotta TLC. Also, practice, practice, and a little more practice. Hey, practice makes
pretzels perfect.
It all starts with the dough. At Auntie Anne's, we mix up our dough on-site -- in fact, we go through a lot of pretzel dough on a daily basis. Once we've mixed our dough to a perfect consistency, it's time to cut, hand-roll, and twist. Auntie Anne's pretzel-makers begin with a strip of dough. We stretch the strip and hand-roll it into a long rope formation.
Then we do the twist. Seasoned pretzel-makers can twist a pretzel into the perfect shape with a lasso-like motion. And once our pretzels have assumed the correct shape, we prepare them for baking.
Once we place our pretzels into the oven, you're a few short minutes away from realizing pretzel perfection -- fresh, hot, golden-brown soft pretzels.
Thanks to this nifty handiwork, we've just prepared the perfect pretzel for you. Enjoy!
